New Biodiesel Book for Kids

We just got word that a new book about biodiesel for children will be released later this month, called "Have Fries Will Travel". The book is an adventure story featuring "Rock" an eco-rap singer (strangely, this rapper wears a cowboy hat). He buys Tiny, a smelly diesel car, at a used car lot. Rock soon has Tiny running on vegetable oil from Rock's favorite restaurant. With Tiny's exhaust smelling like fries, the two set off on a road trip to encourage others to use biodiesel in their cars. Along the way, they visit farmers growing soybeans especially for making biodiesel. The author, Linda Hempel, can be reached directly at biodieselbuzz@comcast.net. :: Amazon
