Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this free ARC in return for my honest review.
Really loved this book. Super easy way to help kids learn about helping out our environment. Starts out with Green items the kids like and then perfectly seques into what can be done around the home to help conserve our resources and then gets into recycling, etc. I learned a lot of this as a kid a long time ago, but it is good for todays youngsters to have a book such as this to help with the message. The illustrations are super and vibrant in color.
A great series for kids!!!!

I really liked the images in this book, they are nice, bright and sharp

The story was easy to follow and understand, it was also good fun looking out for the recycling logo on each page and the addition of the sheet at the end to colour in was great. I liked too that the caterpillar turned to a butterfly too so that was something else to point out and talk about

My daughter loves doing the recycling at home so this was a fun read for her – really enjoyable with plenty to learn and enjoy – 5 stars!!

Little Bit and Big Byte is a sequel Go Green, but it works as a standalone and is a delightful teaching tool. It has a great storyline and such wonderfully fun characters that today's children can relate to. There are a lot "Easter Eggs" for both children and adults alike to find and enjoy throughout the story.

In the main story, the fun characters have creative ways of showing us the ways we waste energy and what we can conserve. There are some "bad guys" and that Little Bit and Big Byte clean up after, plus they have to save their pet, Click. Such a fun way to teach children about energy conservation and recycling!

On every page there is a hidden recycle log, and I know when I was a kid, I LOVED finding hidden objects. They'll also love the adorable caterpillar in every scene

I think this is a great books for children of all ages, not just those old enough to read it themselves. I think it would be great for parents to read this to younger children and get them started on bettering the world at a young age when it's easy to develop good habits.



Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC, providing me an opportunity to share my thoughts.

Little Bit Big Byte, Go Green is a sequel to Little Bit Big Byte, A day at a beach but works fine as a stand alone. This one gives us message about what we do which has harmful impact on environment and what we can do to reduce it or prevent it. Since we all use technology more and our growing concern with climate change makes this book very educational read for children. They are taught to do recycling and all the good things that happen when we recycle or switch to more sustainable energy. Illustrations were as usual sharp and cute. Then there was a challenge which asked readers to find recycling logo in each illustrations. I really liked the caterpillar and then it transform into butterfly. All characters though themselves being part of technology teach us how we can save environment through little but smart acts.

Excellent read for kids and teenagers who want to do something about saving our planet.

An immersive and educational story, containing highly informative texts, a bit of (pop) culture and traditions, as well as impressive and adorable illustrations. Featuring a bunch of funny, but also likable characters, including a pet dog.

It reads like a series with different episodes. This particular one was somewhat longer than usual, but in a nice way. There was even a bit of suspense towards the end. The ending was also quite enjoyable.

In fact, the story is really up-to-date and entertaining, while effectively raising social awareness.

Recommended to school kids and their responsible parents.

I loved this book! What a unique way to teach out children about recycling and the environmental sustainability movement with child friendly characters and experiences. Using everyday experiences that children can relate to really made this a hit with the kids! The play on words and computer characters really made it fun to read for adults too!

The children really enjoyed this book and preferred it to the first edition of Little Bit and Big Byte we'd previously read (At the beach).
They were pleased they knew the characters names and were happy that they could retell events from the previous story. This was a great introduction to recycling especially as we have limited resources for this crucial area. The children loved that it was an e-book and found it exciting using the IPADs to read a story. It allowed much room for conversation about this area and it provided the children with new ideas as well as confirming the things we (as a class) already do. The discussions it sparked were incredible and it was clear that the children grasped the concept of recycling well. In this edition of the adventures of Little Bit and Big Byte, we identify the ways in which we can contribute to conserving out world and providing a much greener place to live in. It follows the characters as they learn about recycling and visit a recycling centre to view the goings on after a large refuse collection. I thought it was a perfect book to read to cement our values on being resourcesful and respectful of our environment (locally and in the wider community).

RA aged 7: I liked how they were talking about recycling because I like recycling.
YW aged 7: I liked it when Click was standing on the machine because he's chewing a can and I found it really funny.
EJ aged 6: I liked it when Click had a bath because it was not a normal bath. I was glad that he didn't get hurt in the machine.
MM aged 6: I liked it when Little Bit and Big Byte were starting to do recycling because recycling is good. It keeps the earth healthy.
EL aged 7: I liked when Click came out of the machine with a can in his mouth because I thought it was funny.
Am.M aged 7: I learnt about not wasting electricity like my dad does because it is bad for the world.
An.M aged 7: I liked it when Click had a can in his mouth because that was funny. I liked recycling and I always do it everyday at my house. I love stories about recycling too because recycling is good for the world and I want it to be good and healthy and fresh. That's why I recycle stuff. I like the colour green too.
MD aged 6: I liked it at the start of the story when they dressed up for St Patrick's Day.
RD aged 6: I liked it when they found Click because I didn't think he would be in there!
They thought the pictures were really bright and colourful and full of things to look at. They also enjoyed searching for the recycling logo and this element provided moments of interactive fun throughout the reading process.

When asked if they'd change anything the children said;
Am.M: I would change the bits about St Patrick's Day and being afraid of the dark because I don't think it was needed because it wasn't about recycling.
An.M: I would change the picture when all of the characters fell asleep because it's not about recycling.

All in all the children thought this book was incredibly useful and most of them would love to read similar books to this in the future.

Energy is an essential resource in the life of human beings around the world. It helps to power and support key infrastructure that are necessary for the survival of all the living things. It is therefore necessary for it to be conserved. The theme of the book under review, Little Bit and Big Byte revolves around going green. There are several initiatives which Little Bit and Big Byte are taught in school on the important methods that can be adopted by all people to conserve energy.
Another important event that happened to spearhead the need for going green by all is the “Save the Environment Week” that was taking place at school. From the book, there have been efforts to explain what going green means – this involves the efforts of all members of the family to save the natural resources that are abundant in the environment.
Some of the ways which can be adopted by all school going children like we is by the activities that we involve ourselves in before going to school. These activities involve brushing the teeth whereby one can endeavor to use water only when there’s need to rinse our teeth and not to leave the taps running without using any water thereby leaving it to go to waste.
Activities like going to sleep which young children like the main characters’ sister, Joy of the book involves themselves in like sleeping which are not easily done without the lights being on could be done using a n alternative lighter that is not electricity dependent to go to sleep. This helps save electricity.
Another keyway adopted in the book that seeks to address the issue of energy conservation is the fact that one can reduce the number of gadgets in use at a time. This saves electricity. The other item that was highlighted in the book is the way in which the father to Little Bit and Big Byte uses a lot of fuel when travelling to work, wasting a lot of the gas on transit during traffic jams- all these can be reduced and help conserve energy and reduce the carbon dioxide levels by carpooling and using of public transportation.
The other issue that can be used to improve on the energy conservation is by recycling of waste materials from our homes. There is a lot of litter that comes from our homesteads, these come in all forms be they paper, plastic. These are picked regularly from our curbs to recycle them to be reused. Recycled paper helps reduce the strain on our forests which would have to be cut down for them to produce paper. This helps in conserving energy in the environment. From the book, we have learnt a lot from Little Bit and Big Byte when it comes to the issues around energy conservation.

I received this book from Booktasters in exchange for an honest review.

Genre: Children's Literature, Environmental Education

"Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green" by Craig Feigh is an engaging children's book that combines fun storytelling with important lessons about the environment and its conservation. The book follows the adventures of Little Bit, Big Byte, and their friends as they learn about various ways to help protect the environment.

The book is a delightful and educational read for young children. The story is set in a digital world where the characters embark on a mission to "Go Green." The narrative effectively introduces children to concepts of recycling, conserving energy, and reducing waste in a way that is both accessible and entertaining.

The book's strength lies in its ability to convey important environmental messages through relatable and lovable characters. Little Bit and Big Byte are curious and proactive, setting a positive example for young readers. The inclusion of their family's efforts, such as Dad considering public transportation and Mom emphasising the importance of conserving natural resources, provides a holistic view of how everyone can contribute to environmental preservation.

Feigh's use of humour and engaging dialogue keeps the narrative lively. For instance, the playful references to digital elements like "microchips and guacamole dip" add a unique charm to the story. The subplot involving Click, the dog who accidentally gets caught in the recycling process, adds a sense of adventure and urgency that keeps readers hooked.

The illustrations are vibrant and colourful, complementing the text and helping to bring the story to life. Each page is filled with detailed artwork that captures the characters' emotions and actions, making the book visually appealing and engaging for children.

One minor critique is that the book could benefit from more interactive elements, such as questions or activities at the end, to reinforce the lessons learned with real-life experiences.

"Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green" is a commendable effort by Craig Feigh to educate young readers about the importance of environmental conservation. The book's engaging storyline, memorable characters, and vibrant illustrations make it a valuable resource for parents and educators looking to instil eco-friendly values in children. It's a fun and informative read that encourages kids to think about their role in protecting the planet. As an SDG advocate, I highly recommend it.

This review is written in connection with Booktasters!

"Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green" was a little bit off the beaten path for me in that its intended audience is children. However, my son just started kindergarten and I've been looking for ways to get him more interested in reading. He sees me read every night and we read together most nights, but sometimes it's a battle. So, when I had the opportunity to review "Little Bit and Big Byte, Go Green" through my connection with Booktasters, I thought that this was a perfect opportunity to do a co-review of sorts with my son. We would read the book and write our review together.

I'll start with his takes first. When we finished reading, he immediately stated: "I really liked that story, Dad!" When I asked him what he liked specifically, he said: "The cat and the dog because he looked like a guinea pig" (he currently has a fascination with guinea pigs for some reason). He also loved trying to find the recycling symbol on each page and got really excited when he'd find it before me. When I asked him if there was anything he didn't like about the book, he just looked at me like I was confused and flatly said: "No."

That all being said, I enjoyed this one as well. I found the characters to be bright, fun, and engaging and am in full agreement with how my son took to them. While I don't necessarily agree with his take on what they looked like, I was into the naming conventions, particularly how older characters were named for outdated technology, a little nugget that adults reading with their kids might pick up on and would most likely have to explain to their kids. Further, I appreciated how the story and its message was instantly applicable to kid's lives. For example, after we finished reading, I was able to say to my son, "What's one thing we can do right now to save energy?" He got up and turned off the lights in a room that no one was in. Lastly, I appreciated the re-read value of this one. The opportunity to find the recycling symbol on each page is a great add-on and I think families would definitely be able to identify a new way they can go green after each read.

In all, we loved this book and have read it multiple times now over the course of the past week!

Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green by Craig T. Feigh delights children with colorful illustration and fun learning on how to “Go Green.” The Romie family learns that it’s a good thing to save the environment and recycle. Going green is great in the month of March too! In March one may wear green for St. Patrick’s Day. Green is a good color and is their favorite color in “Saving the Environment.” See how all the fun ways one can “Go Green” with the Romie family.

In this cute little children’s book, going green means you can recycle all different types of products – mainly three are recycled – paper, plastic & aluminium. One can save energy to help save our planet by going green too. There are many ways to conserve energy and go green as well. Conserving water and using less electricity is a way the Romie family learns to be a part of the going green community which helps our planet and conserves the Earth’s natural resources like: water and electricity. In this way, we can give back in our daily lives. Even using public transportation helps conserve and save our planet. Find out how that works.

Intertwining science and education, Craig T. Feigh has created a wonderfully fun and easy way to teach children to conserve energy, save natural resources, recycle and go green for a better environment. In this way, children understand that conservation is necessary not only for those who live now, but for the Earth to be protected for future generations. Children and parents alike will adore the Romie family that live in our everyday modern-lives through our computers and phones.

A great educational series for young children!

I had my daughter read Craig’s book and here is what she said;

“Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green is very colorful and teaches children what to do to help our environment, it also gives examples of what not to do which is very important. I think it is a very cute book that will teach youngsters how to help the environment in their daily lives as they grow up and that is something that we all should do.”

Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green by Craig T. Feigh is a delightful and educational children's book that tackles the pressing issue of environmental preservation. The book's vibrant and engaging illustrations by Patrick Carlson bring the story to life, making it a captivating read for young audiences.
The narrative follows a group of characters, each representing different facets of technology, as they navigate various scenarios that highlight environmental challenges. These scenarios reflect everyday situations that can harm the environment, such as excessive use of cars, improper waste disposal, and water wastage. Through these relatable situations, the book introduces practical and accessible alternatives to children, such as carpooling, using public transport, recycling, and conserving water. At its core, this book emphasizes the importance of individual actions in preserving the environment. It advocates for small but significant changes in daily habits, encouraging children to be proactive in their efforts to protect the planet. The book also highlights the power of education, as the characters take part in "Save Environment Week" at school, spreading awareness among their peers. The colorful and dynamic visuals keep children engaged, making the learning experience enjoyable.
This book is an excellent resource for parents and educators aiming to instill environmental consciousness in children. The approachable language and relatable scenarios make it easy for young readers to grasp the concepts. It's also heartwarming to learn that the author's inspiration came from his son, adding a personal touch to the story.

I look forward to sharing this book with my neighbor's child, confident that it will inspire her to take an active role in environmental preservation. I appreciate Booktasters for recommending this insightful and timely book.

Excellency of this book is beyond description. As I read the another book of this series,I was interested to this book also.The first one was very good,but this one is amazing!You can feel the message of the author he delivered from his heart to save the world from the devastating impact of climate change and environmental pollution.It can be assumed from the name of the book,'Go Green' that it carries a great lesson for the children about the current horrible situation of world climate.The scenario of the world is changing so fast that we all are afraid of what'll happen to the next generation,what type of environment they'll get to live in.Leaders of the world,educated people,scientists,researchers are always thinking about it,but it is also necessary for the young generation because in future they'll suffer the most.This book will help them to start working to save the planet from the young age.They'll get to learn some easy but effective and environment-friendly processes of using resources.Besides,it will teach the lesson of creating awareness about saving the nature.
However,though containing some serious matters,the author didn't forget to make it easier for the kids.Like the previous one,'A Day at The Beach',this book also contains attractive illustrations suitable for the young friends,an interesting brain game and DIY artwork.
Like the other book of the series,this book also contains important educational lessons,so it can easily be suggested to be included in the children's schools.
Finally, if the question arise which one is better of the two books from 'Little Bit and Big Byte',I'll obviously say 'Go Green' is best.I hope the purpose of writing the book will be served and kids will start thinking to make the earth as a fresh,green,lively planet.

Little Bit Romie, along with his family from Cyberville, is BACK in this sequel to the delightful Little Bit & Big Byte: A Day at the Beach!

This book takes it one notch higher with full page illustrations, which aside from being eye-catching and vibrant, make for a much better reading experience.

While the first book introduced the reader to parts of the computer through Little Bit's family and friends, Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green is a fun and educational romp through 'Environment Week' at the school. Through Little Bit's story, readers are informed of various everyday, affirmative actions they can take to preserve the environment. For instance, how to conserve water, save energy and electricity, use public transportation, recycling, etc.

It's a very good way to introduce children to how they can contribute towards taking care of the environment, while also keeping them entertained through the illustrated story!

Other fun things to note:
- There's an adorable caterpillar character that you won't be able to take your eyes off!
- There's a fun game where you have to find a hidden object on every page.
- At the end, there's a list of measures children can inculcate as a part of their regular routine to help conserve the environment!
- Also, a black and white page to colour in!
- The author also announces that all proceeds from the book will go to environment friendly organizations, so that's definitely an upvote.

The new book by Craig T. Feigh is a fresh addition in the ‘Little Bit & Big Byte’ series and this time with a relevant and an important message which is imperative for children of today’s day and age to understand.

The book opens with an innocent pictorial riddle, asking the reader to find the recycle logo and then moves onto weave a story around the importance of environment and energy conservation by saving our natural resources.

The author takes examples from the real-life scenarios and immediately provides the ways by which one can contribute towards saving the environment while doing the daily chores. ‘Go Green’, very effectively captures the imagination of a child and help him/her connect the cause with the impact.

The language is conversational, and the characters are relatable. A short 33-page story is beautifully illustrated read with attractive colors and nice-looking characters. The illustrator, ‘Patrick Carlson’, has done a commendable job in creating eye-catching sketches and complementing them with his startling color palette. The illustrations are the backbone of the story and keep the reader hooked and looking out for more.

It’s an excellent read not only for the kids but also for the adults, which very effectively first instill the importance of saving the planet and then lists down the ways in which one can contribute.

The book ends with an uncolored sketch of the characters to kindle the creative side of the reader giving them an opportunity to paint their world of imagination.

How appropriate that Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green be released on St. Patrick's Day weekend.
This delightful sequel to the first in a Series of Little Bit & Big Byte books picks up where the first book (A Day at the Beach) left off.
It's "Save the Environment" week at school and the "chips off the old block" are covered in post-it-notes telling of ways to Go Green. Since Green is the favorite color of both Little Bit & Big Byte, they share their creative "green" thoughts. I love the antics of the caterpillar in these scenes.
The Author, Craig T. Feigh, humorously shows ways each member of the Romie family can conserve energy. I especially like the colorful illustrations depicting the "before and after" scenarios.
We are introduced to alternative ways a family can conserve energy by recycling their paper, plastic, and aluminum cans. It is here that the drama begins. While placing the recycling into colorful bins, their dog (Click) inadvertently jumps into the recycling truck.
Little Bit & Big Byte rush to the Recycling Plant in order to save their canine. Will they be in time?
Be careful to note what happens to the caterpillar (the star of the book) as the last few pages unfold...it's very creative.
An added bonus, that my kids enjoyed, is finding the "hidden" object (in this case the recycling logo) in each picture. There is also a page for them to color and bullets highlighting ways kids can Go Green...Delightful!

Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green is the sequel to Little Bit & Big Byte, A Day at the Beach.
Author (Craig Feigh) and Illustrator (Patrick Carlson) did an excellent job of presenting a socially relevant topic (Going Green) in a fun and humorous way. The story line was great, and the illustrations were fabulous. If you loved the first adventure of Little Bit and Big Byte then you have to grab this book and even if you haven’t try this book. They are back with a new adventure, this time, they are learning the importance of recycling and keeping the planet clean! it was a fabulous way of getting kids interested in recycling, and I enjoyed the story immensely. I had fun searching for the hidden symbol in each picture. Little Bit & Big Byte's dog (Click) jumps into a recycling truck and is whisked away to the facility were paper, plastic, and Aluminium are recycled. This is a nice touch and a learning application for the kids. Especially entertaining is the "hidden" object that the Author hides on each page. He did this in the first edition and kids love the engagement. To be honest, I had a good time trying to find the recycling logo as well. Vi and Russ, local bad guys, return to wreak havoc once more. Little Bit and Big Bite must clean up after the baddies and save their beloved pet pointer pup. The book is a fun read for many ages. Even adults will chuckle at the inside joke of the character names.

In terms of the overall look, this book is a huge improvement over Book 1. All the characters from the first book are introduced as a family photo, making them instantly endearing. The hidden object game continues from Book 1, only this time the object is the recycle logo.
Book 2 educates children on how to use resources wisely, recycle as much as possible, and protect the environment by making changes in one's everyday life.

Illustrations:
The pictures are bigger and cleaner--and so much more pleasing to the eye. The colors are bright and warm, and quite attractive. This is a big improvement over the illustrations in Book 1 (A Day at the Beach). The text is well-placed on each page and does not distract from the illustrations.

Writing/Plot:
The story flows smoothly and the language is clear, simple, and humorous at times. Each page deals with one topic/thought, encouraging the child to stop and think. The story is structured well; wasteful habits are described first and then ways to save resources are mentioned.
A mini-adventure involving Click, the dog, and the antagonists, Vi and Russ, also takes place and this keeps the story exciting.

Final Thoughts:
The story ends with a list of ways to "Go Green," plus there's a picture for children to color in (for paperback versions). Good idea!

I came across this magnetic book while looking for a fun read to help me improve my communication skills with kids. The book aims to introduce young readers to the concepts of environmental sustainability through a tech-themed story. It features characters named Little Bit and Big Byte, who represent different aspects of technology and how they interact with the environment.

I appreciated the attention to detail and the efforts put into making sure that the book would not be a boring read for kids. In the story, Little Bit is a small, eco-friendly character, while Big Byte represents larger, more energy-consuming tech elements. Together, they go on a journey to learn about and promote green practices in the digital world.

The book covers important topics such as reducing electronic waste, conserving energy, and making more sustainable tech choices. It's a fun and educational way for children to understand the importance of going green and how their everyday choices can impact the environment, especially in the context of technology.

The author and illustrator did an excellent job of presenting a socially relevant topic (Going Green) in a fun and humorous way. The storyline was great and the illustrations were fabulous.
It's helpful to illustrate the ways in which we all misuse our natural resources and Little Bit, Big Byte, and Joy (their sister) all have their quirks that are fun to watch. Even the Dad (CD) can do his part by taking public transportation to work. A great addition is the story-within-a-story which has this cute little Caterpillar stealing the scene on almost every page. What happens at the end with this adorable character is fantastic, so make sure you pay attention to what's happening.
Little Bit & Big Byte's dog (Click) jumps into a recycling truck and is whisked away to the facility where paper, plastic, and aluminum are recycled. This is a nice touch and a learning application for the kids.
Especially entertaining is the "hidden" object that the Author hides on each page. He did this in the first edition and kids love the engagement.

"75 out of 100," said my younger brother. he said because when little bit and big byte rushed to help click, where did they park their bikes? (he's 11 this year).

in all honesty, i would give this book 5/5 because of its engangement. it's enganging enough for someone over 20 like me, especially when i read it with my younger brother.

the language is easy to comprehend, the illustrations are cute, the story is plot-twisted enough (even i laughed, hahaha), and the moral story is valuable enough (when my brother read the "play less video games" at the end, he immediately grins and promise to lessen his phone usage).

the value of the story is clear enough: it's to encourage people, not only children, to save our energies. and what can we do to reduce the usage is illustrated enough. great book!

my favourite character is click. he's funny!

i'd recommend this book for children and anyone who craves for some little enjoyment.

**Thank you Bookstasters and author Craig T. Feigh for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review. **

Big Byte goes green takes the reader on the journey of figuring out ways one can be more green. Because this is a children's book, the author did well in also adding a small bit when Big Byte quickly talks about his favorite green things.

"If you want to go green, turn off your machine."

I think overall this book is a good introduction for a child learning about recycling and preserving energy. Big Byte and his brother Little Bit also goes on a journey to find their dog click after he jumps into a recycling truck. This adventure also introduces us to two character who are not recyclable in this world nor are environmentally friendly. The story has a great message with vibrant illustrations. It was a good quick read.

"In each picture, the recycle logo is hidden, can you find it?" This took me afloat, and set to seek something enlightening in the book. I found your effort to find a point of balance between the ever increasing advancement and usage of technology and the conservation of nature to be remarkable. Also, the simplicity of your language makes the message clear, "going green is doing our part to conserve energy so we can save our planet's natural resources."

However, I would propose that you improve on characterization. While reading, I struggled with relating the name "Click" to a dog, in a technological setting. I think such improvement will enhance reader's interaction experience with the book.

Overall, you did great at creating awareness about preservation of nature and it's cultures among the upcoming generation.

I was really disappointed with this book. It should've been clearly stamped "Climate Change Awareness For Children".

It's a good book to introduce your kids to the importance of being environmentally conscious, though...

The story came off very forced and I suspect written without any editing. I think the writer would have done better to smoothly transition between certain events. At least he could have closely placed the scenes in the book.

The part where the kids are given POST-IT-NOTES. What was this line about : "We're excited because green is our favorite color?"

Also, will kids really get jokes like "It's a hard drive" in the scene where the dad, CD, is in traffic?

I might add that if you are to read this book or buy it for your kid there's a book preceding this one, which would probably have made me appreciate the characters more and the story.

We will experience another meaningfull lesson with Little Bit and Big Byte: Go Green.
It's "Save The Environment" week in school. The teachers ask them to "Go Green". They are so excited because Green is their favorite color.
But going "Green" is beyond that. Their Mum, Netty, told them that every member of family can help save energy. How do they conserve energy? Let's find out in this book!

As usual, there is hidden logo in every page. It is brilliant to put it as a challenge to help our children memorize the logo related to the environment. Through this book, we can learn and familiarize ourself with good habits that can help save our natural resources. Moreover, there is "Color Me" page at the end of the book, let our children explore their imagination by coloring it!

My Dad, CD, drives to work alone each day in the Romie-Mobile. "It's a hard drive," he sighs.

TELL ME WHY I BUCKLED OVER THIS.



That pun & others are littered throughout this environmentally-friendly children's book that teaches the importance of going green. There's a fun activity of searching for the recycling symbol on each page. There's also a list of the activities Little Bit & Big Byte suggest throughout the story so families can start making changes to their habits that may not be nice for the planet. Bonus coloring page at the end!

This book was provided at no cost by the publisher/author/sponsor. Thank you!

What a very happy colourful children's book with a fantastic lesson
(even for me)!

When I started reading Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green, the colourful cover
intrigued me very much.

There was a lot of interesting text for a children's book and it transferred
me to the world of the main character(s). They were deepened
out very well!

I liked the wonderful explanation of the "Go Green" topic. The search
inside Little Bit & Big Byte also was amazing. The last page was a
colour plate which children would love!

I recommend this happy, colourful book with a great fantastic
lesson to children and their parents as well. It's excellent lecture to
start reading and to read to your little ones.

Of course, I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating.

It is another book in the Little Bit and Big Byte series. The book deals with the importance of the environment, going green, and recycling in a fun and interesting manner. This is a very important subject in the current times, and what is better than teaching tomorrow’s citizens these important concepts and what is right and what is not?

The author has done a very commendable job of conveying this important message through a fun story accompanied by quirky and colorful illustrations. It talks about small daily habits dealing with using water, electricity, and other resources. Teaching the young ones these habits and concepts can go a long way in helping our ailing planet Earth. It is a must-read for the kids, their parents, and educators, making the learning experience fun.

Teaching conservation and some environmentalism for the youngest of children with a bits and bytes cast of characters going about daily activities, cute and heartwarming, and setting a good example.

Recommended for the classroom setting for read aloud by teacher activities, or parental reading to children. The words are too complex for beginning readers, and by the age the words can be read, the child may want a different presentation, so this is a teaching storybook demonstrating how to "Go Green."

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for an ARC for review. Honest opinion given.
