and energy efficiency into your daily life and in the process save money,

that come with the exciting new technologies and introduces you to the
revolutionary clean-energy products on the horizon, making the ins and outs

isn’t just good for the environment; it’s good for the economy, and

My review

Green is good is a small book, but with a lots of interesting information.
It was clear that the author knew his stuff perfectly!

I enjoyed reading Green is good, due to the compact size of the book and
due to the suggestions of the author. It also has a beautiful book cover!

I will recommend this book to all who want to read about saving money
and helping your community profit from Clean Energy.

I give a 5 star rating to this compact and interesting book!

Bookreview: Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green

 A very happy colourful children's book with a fantastic lesson


Summary

Little Bit & Big Byte are back for another fun adventure in the sequel of the
popular Day at the beach. It's " Save the Environment" Week at school and
the adorable "Chips off the old block" are excited to do their part to help
conserve energy and recycle.

Little Bit shares how we all can save water by brushing efficiently. Joy the
sister, sleeps more soundly with a night light. Big Byte has a tendency to use
all of his electronics at the same time and realizes how effective unplugging
can be.

Even the Dad can do his part to ease traffic congestion by taking public
transportation to work. While taking their recycling to the curb, their long-time
enemies kick over the recycling bins and spew garbage all over the street. In 
addition their pesky pointer jumps into the Recycle Truck and gets whisked
away to the Recycling Centre. Little Bit & Big Byte rush to save the day for
their beloved canine. They also learn the complexities and necessity of 
recycling our paper, plastic and aluminum cans. 

Enjoy the colourful illustrations and be amused by finding the "hidden object"
in each picture. Smile at the "story within a story" as the lovable caterpillar
steals each scene with his youthful antics. Learn a valuable life lesson
as Author Craig Feigh, perfectly illustrates the need for all of us "Go Green". 


My review

What a very happy colourful children's book with a fantastic lesson
(even for me)!

When I started reading Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green, the colourful cover 
intrigued me very much.

There was a lot of interesting text for a children's book and it transferred
me to the world of the main character(s). They were deepened
out very well! 

I liked the wonderful explanation of the "Go Green" topic. The search
inside Little Bit & Big Byte also was amazing. The last page was a
colour plate which  children would love!

I recommend this happy, colourful book with a great fantastic
lesson to children and their parents as well. It's excellent lecture to
start reading and to read to your little ones. 

Of course, I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating.
