What a Waste: Trash, Recycling, and Protecting our Planet What a Waste: Trash, Recycling, and Protecting our Planet

Original 3-line summary: In this book, the author explains our planet's problem with waste. She also describes each type of pollution and how they are affecting the lives of humans. Then, she identifies each of the Earth's resources. Finally, she defines deforestation and conservation near the end of the book. The illustrations are excellent, and really add to the information display. The colours, fonts and design are excellent, great for kids (bright colours, playful fonts). I think it would be really cool to have each student focus on a different section of the book and create their own graphic, each student could share their section with the class so that most topics got shared with the whole group! I think another activity students could do is after reading this book they could write a paragraph about what they learned about waste and how they can make a difference! The art is fun, which might seem strange considering how serious the topic is, but I think that approach keeps the subject hopeful. I liked the history of garbage and the frank message of where we are. The book would make a good read for a young person who likes gross out science books, or wants to learn how they can change the world.

This is a fantastic book for kids who want to get introduced to environmental issues like waste & climate change. I'm so happy books like this exist and are available as a resource to educate kids. Overall, a stellar production from writing, illustrating, and even publishing the book (it's made with more eco-friendly inks/materials). Truly deserves a full 5-star rating!! DK regularly produce high-quality non-fiction books which make the big topics accessible to little people and this read is no exception. We would like to think of our planet Earth as a beautiful and clean place but the truth is we are surrounded by rubbish and it is all our own fault! We have become a throwaway, single use society and that is creating a huge problem with rubbish.
