• Excellent book to explain the reduce, reuse and recycle products for young preschoolers.
• Great children's book for increasing the awareness of recycling and how it can assist our environment.
• I bought this book to teach my Kindergarten students about Earth Day/Recycling. It's a great way to explain the 3 ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Can't wait to read it again next year.

From the Inside Flap

(back cover)
The three R s teaches us many things we can do to reduce pollution. When we Reduce the number of different things we throw away such as plastic bags we help to keep the land where we live clean and the water that we drink fresh. It is also a good idea to Reuse; for example, by finding new uses for hand-me-downs that we might otherwise be tempted to throw away. And we can Recycle things like paper, cans, and bottles by placing them in collection areas where they can be picked up and made into new and useful things. Remembering these three R words is a good way for us to help make our planet a good place to live.
