review 1: In this Arthur Adventure, Arthur's class is working on a project called the "Big Green Machine." It is a conservation project. Everyone has to come up with ways to save the energy and our environment. While working on his project, Arthur uses green paint, which stains his hands. D.W. sees Arthur's hands and thinks he is being turned green by a machine and gets scared. On family night, the truth is revealed and D.W. is glad that Arthur's hands turned green while he was making a poster highlighting 10 ways to turn your house green. I really enjoyed this story, the illustrations and the message of this book. This is a 3.1 AR Level Book.
review 2: I'm seriously really getting tired of the hyper-eco-activism in books lately. Yes, the environment is important.... more Yes, living green is a way of life that doesn't need to be limited to nonfiction texts. Andy Runyon has a great part in Owly and Wormy -- Friends Aflutter where Owly gets an idea and it shows up as an energy-efficient bulb. That's cute!This is not. WHY IS THIS BOOK ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST?!?! less
