My review and thoughts on Honey\u2019s Helpful Hints<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aw, this is such a lovely picture book which can help teach kids how to be more green. \u00a0Honey is a labrador dog whose family has nicknamed her \u2018Dustbin Dog\u2019 because she likes to eat any food that\u2019s been wasted. \u00a0Honey isn\u2019t just rummaging through the trash for fun though, she\u2019s trying not to waste food, as well as teach her family different ways be more environmental along with her neighbour poodle Jimmy. \u00a0How many things can Honey help to make her family more green? \u00a0This picture book is filled with lovely illustrations and text.<\/p>\n

The book begins by introducing Honey as a fun loving labrador who loves to not waste things like water and food. \u00a0As we learn more about Honey though we discover through her story with her family the different ways we can all be more green such as turning the thermostat down and recycling. \u00a0The text has some lovely rhyming to it and I do like the way certain dog behaviours like eating out of the bin are reinvented with an environmental twist, showing kids some real and easy ways they can help the environment and be more green through simple actions.<\/p>\n

The illustrations are all so fun and colourful. \u00a0I love the way Honey looks as well as how fun the pictures look among some of the text on certain pages. \u00a0Every page is clear to see and I do like how cute Honey and Jimmy look. \u00a0The book has a good ending though if I\u2019m honest I would have liked an additional page with a summary of tips or some extra ones to reinforce the green message for kids reading. \u00a0But overall a lovely picture book and a fun way to introduce being environmental to children.<\/p>\n
