Today is a very special day, my internet friends! It’s Earth Day! And without the planet we know and love, none of us would even exist. You wouldn’t be enjoying your weekend, and I wouldn’t be sitting here, wrapped in my Snuggie, wishing Spring would make its way to Ohio to stay this season. 

Earth Day is kind of a big deal, for people and animals both big and small, young and old. That’s why when my good friends at National Geographic Kids asked me to partner with them to host a very special giveaway celebrating our Planet Earth, I hopped right on board. 

The awesome folks at NatGeo Kids came up with an amazing collection of books, perfect for kids of all ages and stages, that will help them to further learn and appreciate our Planet, and even learn ways to help make it a better place. From animal babies to sloth adventures, to water, to trash and more, this book bundle has something for every Earthling. I’d love to tell you a little about each title before we get to the giveaway!

Winner of the AAAS/Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books

From e-waste to waste in space, to  innovative trash technology,

Readers can go “beyond the bin” and learn the cool science behind landfills, why it’s so much better to toss a banana peel than a glass bottle and why being a trash collector can be a risky business.  Rather than being all “doom and gloom” about the subject, This Book Stinks! inspires young eco-warriors kids to take action by including tips and ideas about what they can do to make a difference at home, in their neighborhood and in their community. 

From the ins and outs of recycling, to the nitty-gritty of landfills and dumps, to how creative people find new ideas to reuse rubbish, This Book Stinks! covers everything kids need to know about trash on land, in our oceans and even in outer space and how, by rethinking what we toss and how we toss it, we can save and protect our planet.

No doubt about it, water is fascinating! It’s also essential.

Fortunately, there is hope! And that’s where this book comes in. By learning the ins and outs of important water issues and making small but powerful changes in our daily life, we can help protect the water that connects us all on our beautiful blue planet.

Features include:
· What kids can do right now to combat climate change
· How to make a water filter at home and other fun activities
· How small changes in your daily routine can equal big water savings
