By: Kate McMillan | Series: Books for a Better EarthA stunning illustrated overview of “green” architecture on every continent, packed full of cool STEAM facts and fascinating details.
From a waste collection site built entirely from recycled materials, to a school designed to float during flood season in Bangladesh, this dazzling book highlights innovative and sustainably built structures around the world.
Did you know that “woodscrapers,” or skyscrapers made of wood, can reduce construction waste? How about that termite mounds have served as inspiration for temperature control systems? And believe it or not… there’s a research station built on skis in Antarctica.
Pairing a kid friendly, conversational approach with spectacularly detailed art, Kate McMillan dissects the design of 15 eco-friendly buildings worldwide. The extraordinary structures fall into five categories, each emphasizing a key element of sustainable design: 1) local materials, 2) adaptability, 3) sustainable construction, 4) clean energy, and 5) optimized space.
Readers of all ages will love poring over the precise, colorful illustrations and informative close ups featured on eye catching double-page spreads. Perfect for budding architects and engineers, this book is a work of art!
Books for a Better Earth™ are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.

Fun toy for the family dog but the puppy can pull the crinkle paper out
Color: Orange+Green
I would have given this five stars because my 5-year-old Australian shepherd border collie loves it shakes it tugs with it. It has held up great until we got a puppy and then the puppy pulls out the crinkly paper which looks just like a clear plastic wrapper so that's not good this is our second time ordering these. The first time was for my current dog and the second time when we got the puppy so he had something to play with too.

Cute, Affordable, Dogs Love
Color: Purple+Green
These are super cute. Both of our girls love them. Got them in January and we still have both of them as faves in May. That’s pretty impressive with the amount of toys they rip through. They 100% can easily be destroyed. Our dogs have preferred keeping them. They just enjoy these toys.

So-so...
Color: Blue+Orange
50lb German Shep mix chewed through the head within a couple days and pulled the squeeker out. Not horrible, but not as durable as they seem to imply.
