Why Should I Recycle?: Environmental Picture Book about Sustainability for Kids (Back-to-School and Homeschool Supplies) (Why Should I? Books) Paperback – Picture Book, February 1, 2005

Simple information on recycling that can make a big impact. Well written and good illustrations. Wanted to find children's books on recycling and the environment to give to the local grade schools. These are the winner!

I love the book. The way it was delivered was awful, this was a brand new book but they stuffed it in my mailbox and now it is all bent and I am very dissappointed in it's condition.It will be a good story for our papermaking project tomorrow about reducing, reusing and recycling.

Great simple books to explain to you g children why recycling is important. A must for any preschool or kindergarten classroom.

I read this book to a group of 3-5 year old children. They were able to follow the storyline and relate to things they could do to keep their environment clean. This falls right in line with any earth day activities or classroom emphasis you may be planning.

I've just recently bought all of the Jan Green Why Should I? series and they are great! The books are easy to read for the little ones, not too much text is good, it goes right to the point, and that makes it easy for the children to understand. The illustrations are wonderfully colorful and will catch the children's attention in a heartbeat. Not only are they cute books, but they send out a great message, children need to know how to protect our Earth from a really early age and Jan Green did a splendid job.

Used this to teach recycling to my kindergartners. It gave good examples of why it is important to recycle and also concrete ways that students can make a difference.

Great explanation of recycling for kids and good lessons

At a level that all students can understand. Colorful pictures and information on how and why recycling is important. Younger students can relate to the children in the book, that they too can participate in the recycling process.
