[MOSAIC] Envronmental Read Alouds

[Heather Blau]

Take a look at There's an Owl in the Shower by Jean Craighead George  
(or her many other wonderful books)

For non-fiction picture books which highlight human impact on  
environment try A River Ran Wild by Lynn Cherry or Who Speaks for  
Wolf by Paula Underwood.

Do you know Linda Booth Sweeney's book When a Butterfly Sneezes?   
It's a guide for using picture books for teaching "system's  
thinking", helping kids understand interconnections and deal with  
complexity.  She offers guides for both of the non-fiction books  
above.  I recommend it highly for anyone working on environmental or  
social issues.  Also, you may want to check out the website for The  
Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education.
