Little Green Books Review and SUPER sized GIVEAWAY

Who knew??  I didn't.  When I ran across Little Green Books by Simon and Schuster I was pleasantly surprised.  Love the idea behind the books and the website.  There is more than just books offered on the site.   Parents and caregivers can find great stuff on the blog and some really cool games for pre schoolers and younger too!  Downloadables, green tips and more really help parents and teachers find fun ways to get kids involved in an Eco friendly way.  They introduce fun characters like Little Green Monster for your kids to fall in love with.  Smartly written and extremely colorful, they catch the attention of even the youngest readers. 

Little Green Books are printed with vegetable or soy based inks, made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable!  I was so happy to see they had books available for little ones (board books) and for a bit older (pre-school and young elementary age).  There are ton of options out there for older kiddos to learn how to help the Earth and the creatures on it but the younger group has been left out...until now.  You can even find lift the flap books to keep them entertained and involved. 
G loved these books...his fave was I Can Save the Ocean.  He loves anything to do with sea life and the ocean so this was a big hit and he loved the Little Green Monster.  I enjoyed The Polar Bear's Home as well....this story about global warming was a tug-on-the-heart story that he understood and took to heart.

As total book nerds, we had fun reviewing the books we did.  We were able to review the ones shown and mentioned above.  I Can Save the Ocean, I Can Save the Earth, The Polar Bear's Home and Don't Throw That Away! 

Now it's YOUR turn to read these books!  We are going to have a super-size giveaway for these great books.  I will have 1 Grand Prize Winner who will receive the whole pack of books that I mentioned!  All 4!  Then, I will have 4 winners get to choose 1 book of their choice out of the ones above.  This should be fun, 5 winners!  Here's what to do:

    First of all, this website was adorable! I liked all the books but the two I liked the most were Don't Throw That Away! for the color scheme and The Polar Bears' Home for the story.
