Your book is a great resource for the classroom teacher. Renewable resource is a difficult concept for young children to grasp. This book not only addresses the concept at a level which third graders can comprehend, but also incorporates reading concepts such as informational text features (diagrams, pictures, definitions), and covers numerous state content standards across the curriculum. It would be a welcome addition to the classroom teacher's library. --Nancy McCracken, Media Specialist, Freedom Elementary, Liberty Township, OH
