After noticing the damage caused to the environment and animals due to trash and waste, Luke decides to take action. He believes he can have a big impact on the world around him and invites his readers to join him! Using his phrase, ‘Not for me, please!’ Luke role models how children can harness their inner super-hero and help protect the environment. He introduces the concept of Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse through relatable examples children can understand. The rhyming story is catchy and the illustrations are captivating. Let's choose to recycle, reduce, and reuse; and with my strong phrase, there's no way we lose! Here are some examples to show what I mean, and how you can join me and begin to act green. FACTOIDS Interesting facts, definitions, and statistics can be found in 'info' boxes throughout the book. The info boxes give a wonderful chance for rich discussions on sustainability, choices, and change at home, in kindergarten, elementary schools, or in reading groups. REFLECTION At the end of the book, there is a reflection section to prompt dialogue about the topics covered in the book: environment, sustainability, zero waste, impact of plastic, climate change, what it means to recycle, reduce, and reuse, single use plastic, water and energy conservation, and acting green. Children can put in their own words what they have learned and how it applies to them. Not for me, please! I choose to act green is ideal for children age 5, age 6, age 7, age 8, and age 9. Grab your copy in time for Earth Day today! Review: GREEN TEAM - What a clever way to explain the concept of recycling to young children. Godsey uses a young boy presented in the guise of a superhero. At first, Luke is like most children who pay no attention to conserving the earth’s resources. When Luke notices trash all around him, he decides that he will become a part of the solution rather than the problem. Luke shows his readers how to follow the three R’s: reduce, recycle and reuse. He discusses the problems of trash in the ocean, in our homes and in our schools. He talks about energy conservation tactics a child can practice like turning off faucets, being mindful of unnecessary electricity, and avoiding one-use plastics and paper. While the text is written in rhyme in simple language, the author includes teaching and discussion points at the bottom of each page. At the end of the book, a reflections page summarizes the content in the book and facilitates group discussion. This book is particularly targeted at the elementary school age child, but it is a richly illustrated and pleasing choice for a reader of any age. Review: This is THE school tool to educate 6–9 y kids on environment - If you search for a children’s book that explains, what is our responsibility and what can we do, for the environment, then you have found the book you were looking for! The illustrations in the book are wonderful. The story s written in rhyme. It’s a nice, an easy to read narrative, that entertains and drawn the children's attention. I love the way that at the bottom of each page, the author explain more to the children (and adults) so they have a better idea of what is going on by pollution and what we all can do. The questions at the end of the book can be used as a good guideline for parents, teachers, caretakers, grandparents… to discuss with their kids. While and after reading ‘Not for me, please! I choose to act green’ my first reflection was that because of this all, this book needs to be in the school program (6-9 y) everywhere, it is THE tool to use in schools. Do you have it already in your school library? No, well go out and get it, you will not regret! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #763,891 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #480 in Children's Recycling & Green Living Books #996 in Children's Environment & Ecology Books (Books) #1,515 in Children's Environment Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 453 Reviews | ## Images ![Not for me, please!: I choose to act green - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716NIzePLDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREEN TEAM *by B***A on April 27, 2019* What a clever way to explain the concept of recycling to young children.
