in this funny and original tale, storyteller and collage artist Elisa Klevin creates two unforgettable characters and sets them to match wits with each other about the nature of happiness. Deep in the forest, a silly hunter spies a deer dancing for joy. "Wowie-kazowie!" he exclaims. "A deer i can sell to the circus! Great Gumballs - my fortune is made!" So he lassos the deer and brings her home. "Okay, now dance," he commands. But the clever deer, who not only dances but talks, explains that she can't dance without hearing the sweet singing of birds. And when the hunter snares two songbirds, they won't sing without the pine trees whistling along. And so it goes until the deer's wise means of saving herself culminate in an important lesson gently delivered about the foolishness of trying to capture and isolate nature - and a much better suggestion for how to ensure the hunter's good fortune. Hearty humour, engaging dialogue, and a satisfying spiral of action playfully illustrated make this rich, inspiriting fare. Great gooseberries!

This book provides an annotated bibliography of age-appropriate literature and activities, showing children the importance of environmental issues and teaching them the skills to take action. In past years, teaching children about conservation and environmental issues might have been an optional side topic to complement an earth science curriculum, but in today's educational climate, "being green" is a subject with great relevance and importance. This book combines a wide variety of techniques to help students understand environmental issues and gain the skills needed to take action. The children's literature and classroom activities suggested in Think Green, Take Action: Books and Activities for Kids are appropriate for elementary school students from grades three through seven, covering three major environmental issues: endangered species, resource depletion, and pollution. After students have a grasp of the causes of these environmental problems, the final chapter presents ways to take easy action that can create ripples of change across the world. Educators in museums and nature centers, home-schooled children, and their parents comprise an appropriate secondary audience for this instructive text.
