Earth Day Books for Toddlers 

There are some great  Earth Day books for toddlers that can be used to discuss our planet and environmental issues. We have been looking through these books for a while now and I love the conversations that begin when we read through these books. I love that my toddlers are asking questions about animals, about the environment, and about the Earth in general. The books below touch on these issues in a very 'toddler-friendly' way and I highly recommend that you add them to your reading list this month.  Reserve them from your local library or you can purchase them from Amazon by clicking the links below (affiliate links).
