"This series focuses on how children can become actively involved in protecting the environment.… In Growing Your Own Garden, a class visits a school in Pennsylvania that is doing exactly that.… Other titles transport them to China so they can understand the plight of pandas, or to Africa where elephants’ endangered status is explored. No matter which scenario is presented, children are made to feel part of the process; suggestions for how they can become involved abound."
