Gilbert has trouble coming up with ideas. First he couldn't think of a
springtime poem, and now he needs an idea for an Earth Day project!
Everyone else in Mrs. Byrd's class is busy working on posters about
recycling and saving water and electricity, but Gilbert wants to do
something original. A distressing class picnic inspires him, and he
comes up with an Earth Day project that even Mrs. Byrd thinks is the
best idea yet.
With vivid, lively illustrations and a timely story about how kids
really can help the world around them, Diane deGroat shows readers of
all ages that sometimes the simplest solutions are right in our own
backyards!
