This was about a group of students that wanted to clean up thier local park and decided to plant flowers after they cleaned up the trash. The students raised cans in order to pay for the flowers that they wanted to plant.

This is a good example of realistic fiction because it addresses experiences that are easy to relate to and it could easily be true. It combines facts with a fictitious story, which is used to teach place value.

Genre: This book is informational because it gives a lot of information about recycling and facts about why it's important to take care of our environment. It could also be considered a realistic fiction book because the class goes around collecting cans and cleaning up the earth as a class

Really more about math than Earth Day, which made the book not fit what I needed for the day.
