Overview

Get Out! is chockful of ideas to get families, classrooms, and groups outside learning about nature, experiencing the world in new ways, and taking a hands-on approach to the three r’s (reduce, reuse, recycle). Chapters on being a green consumer and green eater, as well as on choosing an issue and taking a stand, make for a well-rounded yet easy-to-use handbook for making a difference indoors and out. Open to any page to find something to do today. The payoff is huge: Not only is nature just plain awesome to be in, research shows that spending time outdoors can actually improve our physical and emotional health. Bonus: Kids who learn to love nature will naturally do more to conserve it. Eureka!

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
As a practical guide for youngsters and adults, this small paperback succeeds in providing sensible advice and information. In the introduction, the author writes, "On every page, you'll find straightforward, engaging activities, projects, games, ideas, and tips to help you get yourself and your kids outdoors, improve your physical health, and do more for Earth." This goal is definitely met in ways that are easily accomplished. Chapter one offers information on how to see and learn about the natural world, whether it is in the backyard, a park, or the playground. The ideas range from keeping a journal to collecting stones to listening to birds' songs to camping or even cloud watching. Other chapters deal with actual ways to be "green consumers;" simple projects and outings; methods for becoming active using the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle); promoting causes such as Earth Day; community recycling; or raising awareness of littering. Eleven pages of resources are listed in the end matter. It is probably a good idea to purchase at least two copies of this most useful book, as it is sure to be in constant use by adults and children. Reviewer: Sylvia Firth
School Library Journal
Gr 5 Up—This handy reference book is filled with nifty ideas to live green and save the Earth. After a brief introduction that encourages readers to get outdoors and partake in the social and spiritual offerings of nature, the book is divided into five sections: "Get Started: Cool Ways to Embrace Nature Today," "Go Further: Projects, Plans, and Outings," "Get Smart: Be Green Consumers—and Eaters!" "Get Active: More Than Just the 3Rs," and "Get Involved: Take a Green Stand." The 150 ideas are simple and direct. Suggestions range from recycling bottles and shoes, to toy exchanges, to building owl and bat boxes. This book can be used by classroom teachers across the curriculum as a source for activities and is sure to inspire budding environmentalists.—Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL
