Where Do Recyclable Materials Go? Read, Think, Recycle (Garbology Kids)

All three books, reuse, reduce and recycle are very informational, well illustrated and interesting books. We all talk about changing the world and this book can really help little kids take small steps towards it and in turn starting a big movement. My 7yr old who is a big advocate of 3Rs and thoroughly enjoyed the book and learnt new things helping him understand the concepts even better. My 3 yr old enjoyed the illustrations and tried understanding the concepts which is great as the earlier we introduce and easier is for them to be a part of this movement. Highly recommended all three books.

Awesome

Lots of info in this book! It's a story about a list dog, but your children will learn lots on information about recycling along the way. It's sort of a long read.

This was useful for getting small children interested in recycling. It was a cleverly illustrated and written picture book for preschoolers.

I wish I had read this book before accepting a board seat at Kimbriki Environmental Enterprises; it would have saved many explanations of terminology and acronyms!The book is a great read for parents wishing to help children gain more understanding of the impact they have on the environment. It uses narrative, illustrations and humour to make the hard facts easy to learn and fun to read.The book is part of a series (Garbology Kids) but stands alone quite comfortably. It is engaging and there are plenty of threads in the background to keep more precocious readers occupied whilst younger children follow the narrative. It is a good book to have in the handbag for a wait at the doctor's surgery or some similar location but possibly too stimulating for a bedtime story (although it does end happily).The main benefit of this book is the effortless assimilation of information about what is recyclable, how recycling works, and how it benefits the community. The book is sensitive to the different collection systems and challenges readers to think of ways that they can assist and enhance recycling in their household and/or school. The storyline will engage younger children who enjoy being read to; the ideal target age for the book is between 7 and ten years, by which stage children should be able to read it unassisted.The book ends with simple projects that can be attempted by readers to give a sense of purpose and achievement that will outlive their interest in the story.The book is well written and tightly edited. There are no obvious errors of grammar or spelling and the prose is simple yet graphic. It can be used equally well for home reading or as part of a school project. There are no themes that could offend readers and it does not give rise to questions that will be difficult for an adult to answer.Adults should be aware that this book may drive some behaviour changes and that these may lead to new household practices.Recycling an aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for up to four hours and up to 80% of waste could potentially be recycled. This book is a good step towards creating an engaged society that will meet and conquer the challenges posed as we move into a resource constrained economy. (Interested adults may wish to see my review of `The Sixth Wave' by James Bradfield Moody for more information on resource scarcity)Great fun for adult and child alike; highly recommended. * Julie Garland McLellan is a professional non-executive director, board and governance consultant and mentor.

Where Do Recyclable Materials Go? is a great book to share with children. The story leads Tiana, Peter, and their mother throughout the community searching for their dog, Bubbles, who likes to chase recycling trucks. On their journey they stop at various places and discover information about recycling. Once they find Bubbles at the Recycling Facility, they are given a tour of how the recycled materials are sorted and sent out.The author's use of a magnifying glass throughout the book showcases various interesting facts about recycling.This is a book worth reading several times. I believe even adults will be surprised about how much we waste and how easy it would be to recycle. Where Do Recyclable Materials Go? should be part of all home, school, and community libraries. The questions, activities, and facts at the end of the book re-enforce the many ways we can help our communities and our world. A great read for all!Jenny Stees, Elementary School Teacher
