Saving the Rainforest With Cammie and Cooper is a high-interest adventure for young readers and listeners. 

Is a problem as big as the destruction of rain forests too big for a seven-year-old to tackle? Not at all. Cammie and her little brother Cooper know what must be done, and in a flight of imagination, they do it. Along the way, the fearless siblings have outrageous adventures that young readers applaud: they count the teeth of a crocodile, tickle the toes of poison-arrow frogs, and howl at a howler monkey. But what happens when they meet a frowning foreman and his crew who are cutting down the rain forest? That's when we discover how simple a solution can be.

The Incredible Coral Reef was written as a companion book to The Remarkable Rainforest. Like rainforests, many coral reefs throughout the world (perhaps as many as seventy percent) are diminished, dying, or dead. Children usually learn about oceans and undersea wildlife, but many have never "explored" the coral reefs. Learning about reef communities is fascinating and fun—and extremely important.

“There's a whole world of nature waiting for you, and it's closer than you think.... Read A Kid's Spring EcoJournal: With Nature Activities for Exploring the Season by Toni Albert (Trickle Creek Books)." Ranger Rick - April, 2002

“A Kid’s Spring EcoJournal...offers March-to-May activities that encourage kids to get outdoors and then write and read about what they see. The book shows students in grades three and higher how to care for wildflowers, grow worms, help nesting birds, build a squirrel house, and collect animal tracks. Writing space and detailed illustrations accompany each activity.” School Library Journal

“A Kid’s Fall EcoJournal. Packed with activities that encourage kids to study the environment in their own backyards, this beautifully illustrated book is a great tool for exploring the season.

“This series of EcoJournals for each season of the year will encourage your kids to really explore and gain from going outdoors...Toni Albert’s writing is just plain enjoyable to read—she relates funny incidents with her cat watching webworms crawl around the top of an empty flower pot, or what it was like to gaze into the eyes of a box turtle, or finding with surprise that she thought the dried leaves skittering across the road were little mice and thinking, ‘I should get a bumper sticker: I brake for leaves.’” Pennsylvania Homeschoolers
