When Miss Fox shows up at school riding her bicycle, Mouse asks, "Do you have a flat tire?" "No," Miss Fox tells her students. "I am going green!"  Soon everyone in the class is working to keep the earth healthy. Mouse takes shorter showers (and does her singing after!); Bunny brings a cloth bag to the supermarket; and Possum turns the lights off when he goes out.  And Miss Fox's simple act has ripples even beyond her own students . . . the principal starts riding his bike, too, and soon the whole school is going green! As in Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class, Eileen Spinelli and Anne Kennedy have combined their talents to make a serious subject both funny and inspiring.

      K-Gr 2-Spinelli and Kennedy speak to nascent environmentalists in a lighthearted tone while still stressing why it is important to "go green." Miss Fox and her students have constructive conversations, share conservation tips, and make informed choices about using energy. The colorful watercolor and ink illustrations go hand in hand with the lively presentation."Sarah O'Holla, Village Community School, New York City"

      Grades K-2 Sometimes books about doing the right thing can seem, well, tedious. But not so with the books about Miss Foxs class. This time out, the subject is helping the environment. When her students see Miss Fox biking to work, they want to know if her car has a flat tire. When she explains about going green, the students have all sorts of eco-friendly ideas of their own. The best part of this, besides Kennedys exuberant watercolor pictures, is the way the kids consider their actions. Its great to get a new pair of gym shoes, but Squirrel realizes, There is still a lot of fun-and-run in my old sneakers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)

      Miss Fox rides her bike to school in an effort to go green. She encourages her students to follow her example, which in turn inspires the whole school. Peppy illustrations of the all-animal cast make recycling, reusing, etc., look like a party, but the book amounts to no more than an accretion of environmentally friendly vignettes.
