My review copy of Michael Recycle landed on my front porch just in time for an afternoon playdate…and ended up being the topic of conversation for the rest of the afternoon.  The kids, ages 5 through 8, loved the bold coloring of the fantastic illustrations and found the writing to be hilarious!

Michael Recycle is an adventure about a superhero (clad with a colander-hat!), who teaches people about how recycling can help make their town more beautiful and their bodies healthier.   The book is fresh and entertaining, for both adults and children.  It not only includes information about recycling, but also contains humorous Go Green Tips that are sure to catch your child’s attention.  “…Most towns offer curbside pickup for newspapers, cans, glass and certain kinds of plastic…Who knows, maybe they’ll even take your little brother or sister!”.  Another favorite was to take shorter showers, “unless you’re really, really smelly!”

In our home, we especially enjoy books that inspire our imagination and include a call to action.  Michael Recycle included lots of ideas that could encourage all readers, young and old, to become environmental superheroes….and just in time for Earth Day!
