 Great book for older kids May 9, 2008
This book is full of facts and figures to demonstrate just how damaging some of the products we use every day can be to our environment. The information regarding the biodegradability of every day products will really make a person think about what they use and how they dispose of it.
 Great book, but not for first graders. March 11, 2008
I bought this book to help me put on a presentation on recycling to a cub scout den. Age group- first grade. I loved the book! I found it very informative and motivating. It touched on all the highlights of recycling. Even included info on landfills. It was presented in a format that a child could easily understand. I read it to my son. He didn't complain, but he loves books, and it really doesn't matter what you read to him.
The day came for my presentation. As soon as I started reading the book to the den, I saw the look of boredom across all their faces (There were 6 of them). I think had they been at least in the third grade, it would have gone much better.
Lots of good facts. March 10, 2008
This book had a lot of good factual information in it about recycling. We read about recycling for Health this week. This book had great information about what is done with the things we recycle and how to reduce using those items that can't be recycled. I would recommend it for grades 2-4th.
Pretty good book March 4, 2008
While this book isn't the best I've found, it does have information a lot of other books don't have. It's a little hard for some younger learners to read as it has words like "bauxite" and "silica" but gives a pretty good background on renewable and non-renewable resources that go into your everyday products (glass, metal, paper, etc). The illustrations might be the best part of the book - as an informal educator with a non-profit organization, I mostly use this book for the pictures.
Must have for recycling education March 22, 2006

This is an amazing book. It covers the major groups of recyclables. It shares facts, tells children how to prepare each item to recycle, and gives a comprehendable description of how they are made into new products. At the end it even gives children ideas of how they can help.
