pickThis is a book for kids to understand recycling. Still, I think we should be using other bottles of different products instead of plastic. #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

bailedI've been reading this book for almost a month and I'm barely 100 pages in, and as my mind kept wandering while I read I realized I'd rather read something else. So much as I hate to DNF a book, I've moved on.
pickThe author and illustrator made this book of a real sanitation worker who made a museum of trash. Nice idea of reduce, reuse, and recycle. The artwork was really nicely done. I feel like that‘s illegal to do that, though? Also, sometimes we just need to get rid of clutter. If you turn it into something else, you still have the thing. But that‘s why you sell or donate instead of throwing it away.
pick4 ⭐This is both biography and a philosophy about finding uses for old things. An everyday sanitation worker in New York City collected things that were broken, but could be fixed could be reused, could be reimagined. He turned his treasures into a museum. His idea was to show people that what one person thinks is trash, could be treasure because he grew up with the lesson that all things are used until there is no use left.
so-soTook a while for this to get going, and I wasn‘t sure where it was headed originally. But it got much better for the last 2/3 of the book and I was more invested once things really started happening. There were two couples, though, that I kept getting confused. Eventually, I figured out the characters, but even toward the end, I often had to stop to figure out who was who, and which couple they were a part of. Once it picked up, it was good.
pickGreat kids book about garbage & the history of same!
“Mr jones said garbage contained lots of useful things that can be recycled or used again”
pickThis is a great informational non fiction book that is an awesome way to explain to children in simple terms why recycling is important!
pickI love the way Meghan McCarthy presents history to children. This book has opportunities to discuss sexism, implicit bias, environmental justice, math and research at an elementary level. #everybodybooks
