Education is the key when it comes to respecting and protecting the environment. So it makes sense to start teaching kids early about living green and what better way to do this than through books. Recognizing this, book publishers Simon & Schuster have put together a new eco-friendly series of storybooks made from recycled materials and aimed toward helping parents and children learn more about environmental awareness.

Simon & Schuster has teamed up with Keep America Beautiful, who will promote the Little Green Books through their network of affiliates on and off line. Messages from Keep America Beautiful stressing that “a greener world starts with kids who care” will be placed on the inside back covers of all the books.

The first four books of the series were launched for the holidays, focusing on various green issues. In I Can Save the Earth, a little monster discovers how to reduce, reuse and recycle. In The Polar Bears’ Home, a father and daughter learn about global warming, And in Little Panda and Little Monkey, kids under the age of 3 can learn about these animals and their favorite foods.

It seems to me that adults could take a page or two from what kids are learning.
