So are you "green?" Do you try to do your part to help protect our planet for future generations by preserving its natural resources?

Yes and yes? Sweet!

Now, take a look in the closest mirror and see if you have actually turned green as a way to show the world that you are doing your part! (Yes, I'm kidding...you can put the compact down now.)

But seriously, though, wouldn't the concept of turning green be a great way to help bring home the point of conserving natural resources for our kids? A new book series from The Little Environmentalists does just that, and from a kid's point of view, to boot.

"I'm Turning Green" shows how the little things we do, like turning off the water as we brush our teeth, can make a big diference! Check out Buttercup enjoying the story for the first time as her Abuela reads it to her!

I love this story, and I am pretty impressed that 18 mth-old Buttercup not only sat through the whole book, but eagerly requested a second reading (and sat through that one, too!)

And in case you're wondering, Little Environemtalists are a company worth promoting. It's refreshing to see a such a positive for kids reinforce the importance of "going green" with their dedication to producing environmentally-friendly products. All books are printed using 100 percent recycled paper that is 1200 percent post-consumer waste and chloring free. And if that wasn't enough, the ink is eco-friendly, too.

Can it get any better than that? Retailing for $7.95, "I’m Turning Green" can be found at The Little Environmentalists and Amazon.

My son turns the water off after he has gotten his toothbrush wet and then turns it back on to rinse. He wants to conserve water....I'm still trying to get him to raise his arm when he leaves a room and turn the light switch off...it'll happen.

I'm following your blog at "Just Neat Stuff".

I just blogged about this giveaway. I think every household should have one and as a reading teacher in elementary school....it should be required reading!!!

My 22 month old can not talk yet so he can not answer-but we do turn off the water when we brush.

Well - my boys are a little older and dedicated recyclers. Their favorite piece of advice is if you have a can or bottle etc, in your lunch bring it back home where you know it will be recycled.
