"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™!"

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.”
