Featuring a mother and sun canoeing on a pond, they discuss the animals, plants, and wildlife that they see. It’s so pretty that I’ve thought about framing the pages and hanging them on the wall. This book is beautifully written and stunningly illustrated.

The Lorax has a great message, but there are other children’s books for Earth Day out there are just as educational and engaging. I have my favorites too! To celebrate Earth Day, though, I want to broaden our horizons. I’m not complaining that my little one loves a particular book. Recently when my partner took her to the bookstore to pick out any book she wanted, she came home with The Lorax. We listen to the audiobook version, narrated by Ted Danson, in the car almost once a day. Although I like The Lorax, my toddler loves The Lorax.
