What if everybody threw away old bottles and newspapers, littering the world with glass and plastic and tin cans that should be recycled and made into new products? Mr. Jones is a teacher who sets a good example for kids by separating his trash for recycling. When he takes them on a class trip to a recycling plant they learn the value of recycling. Part of every child's development involves asking questions. Today, some of the most important questions kids ask are related to the natural environment. The enlightening and entertaining four-book Why Should I? series demonstrates the importance of protecting nature. Books present brief, entertaining stories that answer children's questions and feature amusing color illustrations on every page. A note at the back of each book is for parents and teachers, suggesting ways to use these books most effectively.

September 12, 2009: I bought this to use with my preschool students for our Earth Day unit in April. This is a fun, easy to follow story that is geared to younger kids but doesn't talk down to them the way so many of these types of books are. Even I enjoy reading it to them. I love the message it sends in a way that means something to kids. Definitely recommend this book to all kids under 7.
