Great to read aloud to emerging readers

As an environmental stewardship educator, I use this well developed book all the time. Good for introducing the subject of responsible solid waste management. I use for oral readings with preK-1st grade audiences. It's entertaining with great basic content!

For teaching young folks early about the fun of recycling

The Garbage Monster is an engaging children's book about garbage and recycling, with a fantastic twist. When young Jo hauls out the household garbage one evening, the garbage comes alive and threatens her! But Jo plucks him apart limb from limb, and uses recycling to vanquish the beast - and make her chores more fun. The rhyming text is delightfully written by Joni Sensel, with the unique touch of one letter per line being smudged, as if from an old typewriter. The caricature illustrations by Chris Bivins of Jo, her dog, and the Garbage Monster stick to basics, limited but colorful images on a simple background. Overall, The Garbage Monster is an excellent and recommended picturebook to start teaching young folks early about the fun and importance of recycling.
