Midwest Book Review
“A delightful little story for young readers, “Crissy the Cowpot” is an engaging
and informative 40-page storybook by Nina Anderson and featuring the cheerful,
colorful artwork of Scott Johnstone. It’s the story of how a little flowerpot named
Crissy who lived on a farm was able to help the farmer turn his farm into an
organic ‘green’ agricultural environment for the benefit of everyone. Enhanced
with activity pages, the book is an ideal little way to help children learn about
sustainable gardening and what they can do in their own gardens as a
wholesome and renewable resource to grow healthier plants in a non-toxic, odor-
free and nutrient rich growing environment. Children will also learn about
reducing the use of non-recyclable plastics, municipal waste and being ‘wetlands
friendly’. Fun and informative, “Crissy the Cowpot” is the second title in the Safe
Goods Publishing ‘Edu-enviro/health’ series. Also very highly recommended is
the first children’s book in this outstanding series for young readers, “The Smart
Brain Train.”

"Crissy the Cowpot™ is a delightful book for children that easily combines a
great story with an important message about environmental stewardship. Using
the real life story of how Cowpots™ came to be, the delightful Crissy the
Cowpot™ provides that first-person account in a beautifully illustrated, easy to
read book, perfect for children of all ages. Even though I was well acquainted
with the real story, Crissy the Cowpot™ was a pleasure to read (for me) and my
children thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I'm always looking for teachable moments
and having this book is a great way to share this important message with children
in such an inviting, timely and understandable way. Kudos to Crissy the
Cowpot™!"
