"It is lovely, simply lovely. It reads comfortably and is the perfect little book.... Congratulations also to Angela Cater for the perfect portrayal of every little girl's raccoon."

“...With a simple story and additional tips and resources at the back of the book, children will be inspired and encouraged to learn this new task of recycling. The message of "how to" recycle is delivered loud and clear for readers of all ages, by fictitious characters that help to lighten up the learning experience.
