BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Teddy is excited to go to the dump with his dad. But he is not excited about giving away his toddler ride-along doggie. Even though Teddy is too tall, he dearly loves this toy. After learning about recycling plastics, glass, mixed paper and scrap metal, Teddy and his dad visit the "As Is" store where Teddy trades in his ride-along toy for a new treasure! Who knew recycling could be so much fun?
With adorable illustrations, children and parents will enjoy this journey of recycling and learning to let go of things we've either outgrown or no longer need. This is a fun book that teaches all (readers and children alike) about the importance of recycling. I loved the illustrations, especially Teddy's facial expressions. The large two page illustration of the Waste Management Center could be a fun "search and find" game for parents and children. The colors are bright and inviting. This book could be used in any classroom to teach a unit on recycling.
The "Waste Management Center" two page layout is filled with a variety of ethnic backgrounds and the illustrator did a great job representing each child who might read this book.
