Riassunto

Read and find out about how we can reduce, reuse, and recycle in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

"Perfect for classes just beginning to study environmental concerns," wrote School Library Journal. "Engaging prose and upbeat, gently humorous illustrations introduce the importance of proper trash disposal and recycling."

This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. In clear language and art, including diagrams, the book takes readers through such details as how much trash each person creates every day (on average), where the trash goes, and ways kids can make a difference. It concludes with instructions on how to create a compost pile

What Happens to Our Trash is a Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades. The 100+ titles in this leading nonfiction series are:

• hands-on and visual
• acclaimed and trusted
