What A Waste: Rubbish, Recycling, and Protecting our Planet (Protect the Planet)

Product Information

I especially like the illustrations combined with real life photographs in the story because that gives students the chance to relate drawings with things that are happening in real life. This is full of information that we need to give to the younger generation about the environment to sustain earth. Some parts are scary however I think it is good that the book gives solutions to every problem that they mention. Presented with current facts, figures, graphic representations, photographs, dialogue boxes in the vibrant DK style, many environmental issues are explored. Did you know ‘92% of the world’s people are breathing polluted air?’ Discover why we need forests and learn about the threat to the orangutan population with the loss of their habitat. Deforestation and land clearing are major problems with 15 billion trees cut down each year. Don't think it strange that I loved this book. I did! It was informative, entertaining, illuminating, and quite frankly brilliant. Who knew that waste could be explored so creatively? I certainly didn't. I'm so glad that I was given a chance to review this title. This is the type of book that I would add to my keeper shelf in my home library. I see so many ways of using it with my family for educational purposes. I think anyone who reads this will raise their level of consciousness about waste and waste management. Bravo! An absolutely awesome way to educate on where waste goes, and how to help everyone dispose of their waste responsibility in the future to help prevent pollution. Educating about renewable resources and pollution issues can save the future many struggles. When I spotted the new children’s book What A Waste by DK Books, I knew it was something that I wanted to read with my daughters.

What a Waste: Trash, Recycling, and Protecting our Planet

I will definitely use this book in my future classroom because of the wonderful details it includes! One way I would use this book is to create a scaffolded reading lesson. I love how it has a central dialogue throughout the book, but it also has so many smaller anecdotes too. I would have students create a concept map graphic organizer to go along with the scaffolded reading lesson so they could summarize all of the good information throughout the book. I would also use this book for a science lesson. It is a fun way to get students thinking about reducing waste as well as recognize the impact that they have on their environment.Sacchini, Francesco (1614). "Chapter 13".

Archaeologists look at the garbage left by prehistoric civilizations to better understand how the lived, and some day the same may be done by future scientists trying to understand more about our generation. This is a book I want to keep on my shelf. Every school should have this available for their students. I could easily see this in a classroom setting spanned out over a 4-week course. It's just an amazing book... Original 3-line review: While informational, the pictures and bright colors throughout the book make it more intriguing for children. Overall, the vocabulary is appropriate for elementary age students. This book provides true information about the environment while also engaging a young child's attention, which is impressive.

Vet and author Jess French introduces this thought-provoking information book ‘What a Waste’ with ‘humans are now producing more waste than ever before and our planet is suffering’ and presents a challenge ‘the power to make a positive change is in our hands.’ Dorling Kindersley (известно повече като DK) има повече от богата традиция в илюстрованите научни издания за читатели от всички възрасти. От енциклопедии и пътеводители до всевъзможни картинни справочници, DK са истински специалисти в качествения синтез, оформление и представяне на фактите. Вниманието към детайлите е поразително дори когато изданията са посветени на фантастични или забавни теми като комикс герои, научна фантастика или LEGO, та какво остава за случаите, в които авторите са решили да разнищят някоя наистина важна и наболяла тема каквато е световното замърсяване и съдбата на тоновете отпадъци, които човечеството неуморно и неизменно генерира всеки ден. Точно такава книга е „Къде отива боклукът? Отпадъци, рециклиране и грижа за нашата планета” на Джес Френч, която за наша огромна радост излезе и на български като част от каталога на изд. „Ракета”. Това не е нито просто детска книга, нито пък строго семейно четиво. „Къде отива боклукът?” ще отвори очите на много читатели от всички възрасти по редица важни теми, засягащи всички нас и бъдещето на света, в който живеем. И за да докажат, че застават зад всяка дума, написана вътре, издателите дори са се погрижили книгата да бъде направена от устойчиво добити материали и растителни масла! Прочетете ревюто на „Книжни Криле”: Perfect for teaching young budding ecologists about how our actions affect planet Earth and the big impact we can make by the little things we do. The illustrations in the book are colorful and vibrant, bringing the characters and setting to life. The detailed illustrations capture the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants, as well as the negative impact of waste on their environment. I think it would be really cool to have each student focus on a different section of the book and create their own graphic, each student could share their section with the class so that most topics got shared with the whole group! I think another activity students could do is after reading this book they could write a paragraph about what they learned about waste and how they can make a difference!This new book has lots of information for children about the state or of the planet, about the pollution and waste that humans create and the things we can do to improve the situation — renewable energy, recycling, eco-friendly alternatives and different ways of living, how to make a positive impact and what we all can do. The book also explains different types of waste management too which is very fascinating to learn about. The plot revolves around the animals coming together to clean up their home and spread awareness among humans about the harmful effects of waste on the environment. Through their efforts, they show that small actions can make a big difference in protecting the planet.
