Michael Recycle Meets Litterbug Doug

I used this book and several others to introduce recycling, how to recycling, and why we recycling in my lesson plan. The story line is great: Michael Recycle meets Litterbug Doug who likes to litter but does not know why he has any friends. Michael Recycle points out the litter that Litterbug Doug is unhealthy and that a lot of items can be recycled to make new things. Litterbug Doug becomes Litter Police Doug and he ends up with lots of friends. The pictures are very colorful and the story line is one that students of all ages can relate.

Such a fun and humorous book for kids. I love this story so much and my kiddos do too.

I read this to my son's second grade class as an Earth Day read aloud. They all loved it!! They enjoyed the , the whole story, and great pictures. Also for that age group a "Super Hero" helping to change the lifestyle of a litterbug. made this a big hit!!

My grandson is Michael, and I'm really trying to stress to this 5-year old the importance of recycling. So, am very pleased that he is the hero of this book. Bought about four other earth friendly books to emphasize that being an earth steward is everyone's job. Will wrap them in a recycling bin with some other gifts from Mother Earth.

This is a continuation story about recycling. The graphics are just as vivid and the storyline and emphasis is easy to follow and it educates children how they can be more environmentally conscience. Very preschool age appropriate.

Just what I wanted for earth day

my husband and i just love these michael recycle books. my son is smart and quirky and loves them like we do!

Reviewed by: Wayne WalkerWould you like to live on the top of a garbage dump? Most people would prefer not to do so, but near a clean little town in a beautiful valley, there was a mountain of waste which was the home of Litterbug Doug. No one wanted to go near, except a hundred-odd rats and two fat tabby cats. It was a rotting, moldy, smelly, stinky mess! But then one day there came a green-caped crusader named Michael Recycle. What did he do? And did Doug learn anything? We all need to help the environment by wasting less and recycling more. The rhyming text by Ellie Bethel and humorous illustrations by Alexandra Colombo of this sequel to Michael Recycle (2008) will help to reinforce this important fact in the minds of children and to promote the idea of working together to protect our planet. In the back there are two pages of trash facts from Doug, which are based on information from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, and two more of Go Green Tips from Michael himself. Michael Recycle Meets Litterbug Doug, which is printed on recycled paper, of course, will prove both interesting and useful for youngsters, teachers, and parents alike.
