Publisher's Synopsis
Winner, Mom's Choice Silver Award
A delightful book that shows us how little acts of reusing and kindness to others can make a difference in the world.
With colorful illustrations and fact-filled diagrams complementing the adventure, this picture book tells the story of how Peter and his friends help Mr. Ogilvy rediscover forgotten belongings in his shed. They help him organize and distribute the unwanted stuff to reuse centers in the community, learning the many ways and benefits of reusing. The children have fun with forgotten treasures such as old toys, electronics, art supplies, and even a broken-down car, while they work together to determine how the items should be reused, in the process saving resources, energy, and money, while diverting materials from the landfill.
"Operation: Reuse It! is the second book in the EcoAdventures Garbology Kids series, teaching children wonderful ways to reduce, reuse, and repurpose trash and junk, or old discarded items." -James Cox and Diane Donovan, The Midwest Book Review
