Synopsis

Winner, Mom's Choice Silver Award

After their dog Bubbles chases after the recycling truck, Tiana and her family set off on a search to the Materials Recovery Facility, learning about recycling along the way. Exploring the MRF on their adventure, they see how papers, plastics, metals, and glass are collected, sorted, and baled, and then sent to be made into new products. Based on facts about the process of recycling in industrial countries, this book will help children understand the importance of recycling to save natural resources, as well as how they can take action in their own communities.

Review:

"Through clear and colorful diagrams, charts, and illustrations and catchy narrative with humorous asides, the story of why, when, where, how, and what to recycle is told in full. ... It is a fun, educational series dedicated to the goal of the "greening" of the planet." --The Midwest Book Review

"LOVE IT! This is a must have for all schools! Educational and interesting. I think your book is fantastic! I'm all in favor of supporting it. I'm giving it to a teacher for her students. An important book to help our mom--Mother Nature." --Elaine Wilkes, PhD, Author of Nature's Secret Messages: Hidden in Plain Sight
