Recycle Everyday!

Recycle Everyday! By Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
Grades K-2

This is a fantastic book for the classroom. The characters were bunnies, and they had such unique names like Minna, and Pip. The point of the book was to learn how to recycle. It was very informational and gave a multitude of easy examples that even kids could do. It also gave the definition in simple terms of recycling so kids can learn what it is and then how to do it.
This is also a great book for learning the days of the week. It says on Monday this happened and on Tuesday this happened, and each time there is a day of the week it is bolded so that it stands out.
When Minna attends school to show off her poster of how she recycles you see the whole class of bunnies and surprising to me all of the bunnies are different colors. There are black, grey, and many shades of brown ones. To have diversity with characters even though they are bunnies is a positive for a well rounded children’s book.
I really liked the pictures in this book while I was reading it and then at the end I come to find out it was all made by recycle materials such as paper bags, inside of an envelopes, and bar code labels. What a fantastic idea for a kid’s book!
In addition to all of the great ideas inside of the book, at the end there is a recycling game and activity idea for kids. This book makes an easy recycling unit for a teacher. This is an awesome book!
