A Fun and Informative Dive into Waste and Recycling

This engaging picture book by award-winning author and illustrator Bethany Barton uses humor and vivid illustrations to explore the world of garbage, decomposition, and recycling. Designed for children aged 4–8, the book introduces readers to nature's garbage collectors—scavengers, detritivores, and decomposers—while emphasizing the human role in waste management. It's the perfect supplement to our Explore the Environment Unit Study crate!
