suggestions?
joelle is 9 years old. and has recently gotten really into pioneers. last year, in grade 3, her class did a study on pioneers and has been semi-obsessed ever since. she really likes their simple, lo-fi life style. she likes outhouses and doesn't want to own a car when she's older, but instead just ride a bike. i'm really digging this, and really want to encourage her. i tried doing a search online for books for kids about how to live green. i'm not having much luck. i found one promising one, but when i flipped thru the contents it wasn't quite what i was looking for. instead i want something about composting, reduced energy consumption, exercise, local foods/gardening, home-made stuff and do it yourself ideas. has anyone come across anything like that?

I have a book called "The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming" by Laurie David and Cambria Gordon. It's geared towards kids about that age and it's mostly interesting scientific facts about global warming, but the last chapter is all about what kids can do in their everyday lives. I also have "101 Ways You Can Help Save the Planet Before You're 12" by Joanne O'Sullivan. It's even better because of all the cool ideas and info in it.
