Loui Saves The Earth by Alexandra Gnoske
About The Book:
Loui and his dog Dusty are friends to many animals. But what happens to them and the Earth when people don't put their garbage where it belongs? Find out in this simple yet inspiring children's story of how a boy and his dog can make a difference.
My Thoughts:
What a simple cute book. I like that the illustrations are simple and sweet as well, so it is sticks to the story, and the child's mind doesn't wander, and stays on what's relevant in the story. There have been a million children's books out there about being eco-friendly or green, but this one is the most to the point, right on the bulls-eye.
