Recycle!: A Handbook for Kids

I bought this book to help me put on a presentation on recycling to a cub scout den. Age group- first grade. I loved the book! I found it very informative and motivating. It touched on all the highlights of recycling. Even included info on landfills. It was presented in a format that a child could easily understand. I read it to my son. He didn't complain, but he loves books, and it really doesn't matter what you read to him. The day came for my presentation. As soon as I started reading the book to the den, I saw the look of boredom across all their faces (There were 6 of them). I think had they been at least in the third grade, it would have gone much better.

Gail Gibbons’ books are a great resource to support learning that include rich vocabulary and pictures. I purchased the book for yng. preschoolers however would be best suited for K and older.

This is an excellent book about recycling. If I had to read only one book to kids about recycling, this is the one I would choose. It is fun and has great pictures that really help you visualize the details of recycling. It is packed with information that is presented in a manner that makes it entertaining and easy to digest. Kindergarten and up will understand it, but for the younger kids, you will need to read just a few pages at a time, while discussing what you've read.

Our household loves Gail Gibbons' nonfiction kids books! They have great illustrations, diagrams, charts, etc. These books can appeal to both young (~3yo) and older children. It inspired by 3yo daughter to begin recycling.

As a teacher, I bought this for my class to read. It was a great book to add to my recycling unit! I would recommend for anyone who has children interested in recycling! Gail Gibbons books are always great!

Practical and concise information. Perfect for grades 2-4 read aloud. I used it to kick off our recycling drive during April's Earth day thematic unit.

Nice, colorful guide to recycling. Even though it's not "new", it remains factually accurate. It is easy to read and the tone is informational, not preachy. One of my go-to "green" guides. (If this review was helpful for you, please give it a "thumbs up" below, thanks!)

I've been reading Gail Gibbons books to my son since he was 1. He's almost 6 now and still loves them but now he's reading them to me. All her books are just fantastic! Highly recommended.
