How Mother Nature Flowered the Fields, by Tom Schwartz, is acclaimed by the Superintendent of schools in Brevard County, Florida, and highly recommended by the Midwest Book Review for its important message to our youth about the preservation of humans and their environment, originality, entertainment value, and informational content. Through the format of a fairytale style presentation, young readers are provided with some very "real world" information about environmental issues and Earth's interdependent ecosystems. Ideal for family, preschool, and community library collections.
