"Old Manhattan Has Some Farms" by Susan Lendroth is a sweet lyrical book that talks about how children in the United States help the earth by growing their own fruits and vegetables and by doing other green things. The books adorable song and use of rhythm make the book fun and easy to read. I enjoyed the positive message about ways on how food can be produced, and eco friendly ways to keep the earth healthy. I think the book would be a great starter for a lesson about the environment. ( )
