About this title

Reviews

Gr. 3-6. The Fiarottas begin by advising their readers to save all sorts of trash, such as dairy containers, tubes, jars and bottles, and round containers and boxes. Then they illustrate how to recycle these throwaways into such diverse objets d'art as fans, tree ornaments, forts, and assorted animals. A totem pole made from brown paper bags and a time capsule in a glass jar are particularly imaginative. Line drawings illustrate many of the steps as well as the finished products. Necessary materials are indicated, and the directions are broken down into manageable steps. Middle-grade children could do many of the suggested crafts with a minimum of supervision. Intriguing as the results are, there is a limited demand for clown faces and hanging coils, and you wonder what ultimately will be done with these newly decorated throwaways. Perhaps that will be the subject of another book. Sheilamae O'Hara
