Get your littlest ones onboard the eco-train with Greenzys, characters who help bring the concept of environmentalism alive for your kids. Characters include Peat the Penguin, an ardent supporter of recycling, and Yew Yew the Panda, who grows bamboo to prevent erosion and create oxygen. The plush toys are made from soy fibers and nontoxic dyes with packaging made from recycled paperboard. The book by Danielle Mentzer with illustrations by Cris De Lara is not only an engaging, colorful read, but it includes real, do-able tips for going green. For every toy purchased a tree is planted by the Arbor Day Foundation. ($19.99 for each plush toy; $17.99 for book; available at FAO Schwartz, 767 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan or at www.fao.com)
