I thought "Recycle Every Day!" was a creative and clever book. It follows Minna the rabbit who must make a poster about recycling for her school's contest. Throughout the week, her family helps show her how they recycle in their every day lives. They donate clothes and books, compost, bring cans to the return machines, use reusable grocery bags, and even promote Tupperware over plastic wrap. Minna's mantra, "I'm still thinking" allows time for all her ideas to culminate in her poster being created out of entirely reused materials, and she gets to be the cover art for the calendar contest! This book's illustrations are also all made out of reused materials like wrapping paper, brochures, and paper towels. At the end of the book there is a key of all the materials used, which I thought was a great way for children to interact with the book. There is also a recycling game and real life tips at the end too. This book presented a great message in the perfect way. ( )

A good book for earth day celebrations. Gives kids an awareness of what they can do to reduce waste. ( )
