“There once was a town Called Abberdoo-Rimey Where garbage was left To grow rotten and slimy.
It never smelled fresh. The air was all hazy. But the people did nothing. They got rather lazy.”
In flies Michael Recycle,
I tested the book on my three-year old, and she had me reading it to her four times in an hour! By the second pass, she was asking me “what’s re-cycle, mummy?”. That’s how I knew the book is a hit. It has all the right ingredients that appeal to kids – a superhero to save the day, whimsical rhyming prose, bold, colorful illustrations, and a message that kids will take to heart.
So when my daughter asked me to explain recycling, I took her to the back pages of the book. It’s a special section with tons of ideas for kids to get involved in conservation, right in their own home.
Michael Recycle is written by Ellie Bethel and illustrated by Alexandra Colombo. The book hits the stores this March in time for Earth Day on April 22, and comes from Worthwhile Publishing / IDW Publishing.

Thank you for the review. We have posted a link to your site from ours. (www.myworthwhilebooks.com).
hi grace! maybe you can try out a recycling project with your daughter, so she will practically understand what ‘recycle’ means.
i haven’t taken a pic of my new project but i can share it to you if you want. my german friend bought 10 of my products for P50 each. a norwegian friend will also bring some to norway.
