Along with the history of plastic, "The Last Plastic Straw" also includes the problems that plastic production has created: such as litter invading wildlife habitats, pollution effecting our air quality and resources, and more.

Dee Romito shows us this history and ways we can fix and alter our plastic usage to become a more sustainable world, while Chen's illustrations are simple, sweet, and pull readers in. "The Last Plastic Straw" is a great way for kids to learn about the history of plastic as well as becoming more educated in our need to lessen our usage of it. It's a great choice for any kid, especially those who are interested in science, environmental issues, animals, history, and more.
