Advance Praise

KIRKUS REVIEW
In Noll’s second installment of his environmentally minded children’s book series, a young boy gets his start as a chicken and egg farmer.

As in the previous book, Noll begins by introducing readers to the concept of recycling to reduce waste and ultimately preserve the planet. To that end, he very clearly lays out a dictionary definition of recycling and the different ways that readers can participate in the process. (Even the book’s sturdy pages are recycled.)

The illustrators constantly change viewpoints throughout the story, and the fast-paced tale’s expressive characters give it an energetic flow.

Once again, Noll shows young readers how L.T.’s creative re imagining of recycled materials makes for successful projects. Overall, although this book has a less universally applicable lesson than the previous installment, it’s just as inspiring.

An upbeat tale of resourceful recycling for young environmentalists.
