Everything has a place. Things last longer when we take care of them. Respect, responsibility, and stewardship are concepts that even young children can relate tobecause they have things they value. This book encourages children to pick up after themselves, put things back where they belong, and ask permission to use things that dont belong to them. It also teaches simple environmental awareness: respecting and taking care of the earth. Includes ideas for adult-led activities and discussions.
