Managing the Land

Slightly preachy message about saving the planet. Give some good advice about reducing consumption, improving public transportation, and composting! In some places mentions a problem, but does not give details or speaks in over generalizations. For example, the books mentions how farming harms the soil, but does not go into details. Do all farmers harm the soil? How do farmers harm the soil? Even with these faults, I like the book fairly well. It is colorful and should get kids to think about the environment. The books has an interesting and busy layout. There are three activities (such as make a compost pile), a glossary, and an index. Children's Science Book Review
