Book Reviews of Healthy Child Healthy World: Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home
Book Review: One of the better books on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many books about the chemicals and toxins in our environment and I have to say that this is one of the better books on the matter. The author covers the following subjects with one chapter each: pregnancy, cleaning supplies, food, body care, children's toys and gear, yards, water and air, pets, and home improvement. I found that the book didn't go into too much depth on any particular subject, but this is a good place to start for someone new to the subject. I also greatly enjoyed the excerpts from various parents and celebrities. Highly recommended!
