Review
Going Green!! This is something people heard most of the time, but not Going Blue!! Despite they are different in color, They both have the same concept; save the ecology and the world. The book was organized well readers can easily follow. The lively color photos and illustrations are very attractive. One thing I like most of the book is that it has “Teen in Action.” It gives examples of what teens and teacher is doing with water issues around America. It is motivating and setting excellent examples to teens who not taking any actions.
