Reviews"Engaging prose and upbeat, gently humorous illustrations introduce the importance of proper trash disposal and recycling. Landfills and their usefulness are fully explained, as is the concept of reduce/reuse/recycle. Children are given ideas for composting, and a related activity page is appended. The language is clear and friendly. Cartoon pictures show enthusiastic youngsters doing their part to handle trash responsibly. Even the anthropomorphic cats and dogs are smiling and encouraging. Endpapers offer fast facts. Perfect for classes just beginning to study environmental concerns." -- School Library Journal "This low-pressure look at public-waste disposal and small-scale recycling avoids controversy in favor of consciousness-raising. The book proper begins with a basic definition of "trash" and moves on to descriptions and tidy cartoon views of landfills and of collection sites for batteries and other hazardous household waste, then concludes with a few simple suggestions for reducing, reusing and recycling." -- Kirkus Reviews, Engaging prose and upbeat, gently humorous illustrations introduce the importance of proper trash disposal and recycling.
