"From its namesake red-shoe planter to a ripped-shower-curtain apron, Alter seeks to instill a desire to help the environment."
—USA Today
This is a great choice for environmental units and a valuable resource for parents interested in teaching their children about reuse at home.
—School Library Journal
Recycling becomes lots of fun in this sprightly activity book… what really makes this a standout is Alter’s adorable artwork featuring a coterie of animals at work and play.
