The Three R's: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle: A First Guide to Recycling and Earth-Friendly Habits (What Do You Know About? Books)

Excellent book to explain the reduce, reuse and recycle products for young preschoolers.

I'm a Daisy Scout leader and after we toured the county recycling center, we read this book and did a fun craft with plastic garbage bags (made "Plarn" bracelets). The girls were attentive and liked the story and imagery. They earned their 'Use Resources Wisely" petal from this and I might read it with my kids on Earth Day, too!

The book was appropriate for all ages.

This book was an excellent resource to keep my classroom engaged while learning about Earth Day. I teach primary SE, and this book was easy enough to be used as a read aloud. The illustrations also allowed those not yet able to access print, to do a picture walk and stay on topic. I'll keep this one.

Good book for introducing the concept of reuse, reduce, and recycle. I appreciated how the book avoided questionable science n technology and just focused on everyday lifestyle perspectives. The book does a good job of normalizing the sharing of second hand clothing and hand me downs objects and that doing so is responsible. Overall this book gives an interactive starting place or springboard into further ecological curriculum. Side note: I want to make it clear that i am not a green radical and i do not own a solar panel or windturbine.... I am a homemaker and scientist who just happens to know the real facts. The flat out truth is our society is so caught up in materialism and convenience that we are harming the earth at an unprecedented rate. Think of how many cities put all their trash on barges and dump it into the sea... Burry it in the ground.... Or burn it releasing the chemicals into the air. Think of how many chemicals go into making these items that are thrown away... Do we really want to eat those chemicals in our seafood, drink them in our water, or breathe them in? Green energies are not the solution to our problem. What we need is drastic societal changes to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

This book was very informative, especially for my first graders. They enjoyed learning about the various ways to utilize the three 3's.

Great children's book for increasing the awareness of recycling and how it can assist our environment.

Great resource for the classroom.

Great for teaching about recyling

I got this for my 4/5 year old students and it was a bit advanced for them. If they had been a few years older it would have been perfect for our recycle unit. My fault for not looking into the age group this book.

My Grand-daughter is an avid reader and she really took to this book and it's message. Recommend for a child who has a wide variety of books.

lovely reading

Brilliant
