Good to be Green: Save the Animals by Deborah Chancellor (author) and Diane Ewen (illustrator)

In this environmental education story, Leo finds out what happens to animals when their habitats disappear and, with the help of his class, he holds a wildlife action day to help. The story is a great resource for helping children understand why habitats disappear and looks at topics such as global warming, and endangered animals and habitats such as rainforests and coral reefs.

Good to be Green is a series of six environment educational books that help children age 6+ explore green issues and find out what they can do to help the planet. Each book features the story of a child who is exploring their world and learning why it’s important to think green. Alongside the stories are fact boxes with extra information and at the end of each story there are activity ideas, teaching notes and a quiz. Each story is accompanied by bright illustrations by Diane Ewen.
