Today is National Recycling Day! I thought I would share five books that help kids get into the spirit of recycling. Enjoy! 

Written by Erin Dealey 
Illustrated by Luisa Uribe 
New York, NY : Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2020.

This book is about a group of students who write letters to Earth to share what they are doing to help. Then Earth responds and tells the kids how what they have done has been helpful. 


Written by Eileen Spinelli 
Illustrated by Rogério Coelho 
New York, NY : WorthyKids, 2020.

This is a simple counting book that talks about the earth and simple ways you can help recycle (like giving worn out towels to shelter cats).


By Henry Cole 
New York : Scholastic Press, 2020.

In this wordless story a brown paper bag is made from a tree and is used over and over again through the years by one family until it becomes a container to plant a new tree. 


Written by Eun-Ju Kim 
Illustrated by Ji-Won Lee 
Minneapolis, Minnesota : Scribble, an imprint of Scribble Publications, 2020.

This book talks about plastic and all the good and bad that it does in the world—from how it helps us stay healthy to how it doesn’t biodegrade and thus stays around too long in dumps and the oceans. 




By DK
New York, NY : DK Publishing, 2020.

This book has all sorts of fun craft projects that could be made with materials found around the house. The book also explains the reasons why reusing or recycling things is helpful for the earth.

Review: Faker

By
Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam. Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into. The only problem is that Trey is starting to grow tired of moving around and never putting down roots, especially after forming a fast friendship with Logan and developing a crush on Kaylee, a socially conscious girl in his class. As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...

You Need to Read: Percy Jackson

By
I was a kid myself when  The Lightning Thief  by Rick Riordan was published, and it didn't take long for the Percy Jackson series to take the world by storm. Being the son of a Poseidon, Percy Jackson has some unique challenges as a half-blood. Here's some books that I think could've helped Percy when he was on his adventures trying to save the world: Greeking Out: Heroes and Olympians Written by Kenny Curtis and Jillian Hughes Illustrated by Javier Espila Washington D.C.: National Geographic, 2024. Informational. 191 pages. Percy, I know Chiron did a good job teaching you about mythology in Latin class, but this book is sure to be good to have on hand while you're traveling across the United States. Greeking Out  is written in a kid-friendly voice with vivid illustrations and a sometimes-snarky tone (much like Percy himself). It also presents real-life creatures and places along with the information about Greek mythology. The Homework Squad's ADHD Guide to School S...

If You Like...Ladybugs

By
Spring is almost upon us! We'll have more rain instead of snow, flowers will start blooming, and more bugs will be out. Ladybugs are some of the prettiest insects--and the least intimidating for those more wary of bugs. If you like ladybugs, check out these books! Ladybugs Do Not Go to Preschool Written by Ali Rutstein Illustrated by Nin̋a Nill Richmond, VA: Bright Light, 2024. Picture Book. Ravi loves ladybugs--he eats aphids instead of cornflakes for breakfast, brushes his mandibles instead of teeth, and has a ladybug costume complete with wings and antennae. He is certain that ladybugs don't have to go to preschool, and when Mom says that Ravi still has to go to school, he is nervous. However, thanks to Mom's patience and gentle encouragement, Ravi makes some new friends and realizes that preschool might be a good place for ladybugs after all. A Perfect Spot By Isabelle Simler Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2022. Picture Book. A ladybug is ready to ...
