Minna, a creative bunny, wants to win the Community Recycling Calendar Contest. She knows a lot about recycling but just can't come up with the perfect idea for her poster. Minna's family helps her find inspiration as they share their own recycling efforts. The book's bright, bold cut-paper illustrations are enhanced by Wallace's use of recycled materials such as bubble wrap, envelopes, and wallpaper. With games, activities, and recycling suggestions, this book is destined to be read again and again.
My daughter (now 5) and I have enjoyed this book over the last year and it has helped her understanding of reuse and why we need to do it. It as also improved our recycling (we now have a box of scrap paper for her to use and I'm using more plastic containers and less plastic wrap). The game seems silly but she seems to enjoy it and learn from it. I doubt we'll play it more than a few times more (less than 10 times total).
