Making a Difference: Reusing Things by Sue Barraclough

In keeping with the green movement, this book teaches gives kids some helpful suggestions to extend the life of an object instead of sending it to a landfill. A few suggestions include reusing two liter pop bottles for funnels, making gift tags out of old Christmas and birthday cards, and hosting a garage sale or packing up used clothing for Goodwill Industries. Big, clear pictures and large typeface make this an excellent text for 1st and 2nd graders.

Genre: Non-Fiction
