20 Easy Ways to Help Save the Earth entertains and informs young readers while instilling values of environmental awareness and personal responsibility. Authors Coach Pedro and Susan Adam Rita team up with artist Murillo Pruner to deliver simple, straight-forward messages alongside vivid illustrations.

Presented as a useful guide, 19 suggestions for creating and maintaining a better environment are provided. Each concept is explored by contrasting the consequences of a wasteful or careless act, with the benefits of a responsible and thoughtful act. Though the examples used to contrast good and bad choices are sometimes more melodramatic than necessary, the points are made on how to be better stewards of the planet.

This bi-lingual book combines the use of both English and Spanish phrasing to help readers learn or reinforce either language. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, and help convey the authors’ points.

20 Easy Ways to Help Save the Earth ends with a personal challenge for readers to take the important first step towards supporting the environment. The authors and illustrator succeed in making this an educational, fun, and thought-provoking experience.
