Updated and expanded for parents and teachers of the new millennium is Earth Child 2000, the classic treasury of resources for teaching young children about the environment. The original Earth Child --a favorite for Head Start, pre-schools, elementary schools, scout troops, nature centers, national parks, and families -has been updated with new resources in each chapter. Two brand-new features have been added: a list of Internet web sites about the environment and a 116-page, illustrated teacher's guide, chock-full of special classroom resources, especially created to accompany "Earth Child 2000".
