Cayden’s comments: 

“This book is about Earth Day.  In the back of the book it says Earth Day is April 22nd.  We do Earth Day things in school.  I remember that from last year.  You can sing this book because it is like the ‘12 Days of Christmas’ song.  They even have the music at the end so that you can play it on the piano and sing. 

My favorite page in the book was the one where the 9 turtles hatched.  They hatched out of their eggs on the beach and then went to the ocean.  I liked the 12 wolves howling too. 

At the end it said things that you can do on Earth Day like plant trees and put bird feeders out.  I want to do some of those things.”

Parent’s comments:

“Earth Day Birthday” is a catchy environmental book that we sang instead of just read.  The words are set to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”  We enjoyed the detailed illustrations and learning more about Earth Day.  We are going to take some of the ideas from the end of the book and implement them on April 22nd.
