Capstone Global Library Ltd A Plastic Bottles Journey
Book SynopsisWhere did that plastic bottle in your hand come from? And where is it going next? A plastic bottle''s journey is filled with bounces, bumps and blasts. Pack your bags, and get ready to follow it on its incredible journey!Trade ReviewThis colorful book traces a single plastic bottle from manufacture, through its use as a water bottle, to its journey through the recycling process and its formation into a bottle again. Despite its somewhat cartoonlike look and the talking bottles (sometimes the bottles have word bubbles), the book contains age-appropriate information about the manufacture, distribution, and recycling of plastic bottles. The fact that one bottle is followed through the story makes the narrative approachable for its young audience (prekindergarten through second grade) despite the unfamiliarity of the subject matter. Additional information is provided in fact boxes scattered throughout the book. The story follows a complete cycle, beginning with the new plastic pellets being made into bottles and ending with recycled pellets being turned into bottles again. The plastic simply appears at the beginning, though, and the book would be enhanced by information about how the original plastic pellets are made. This book is written in a fun and friendly way, appropriate for its intended audience. The bright, attractive pictures add to the book’s appeal. Quite a bit of factual information is conveyed in a concise way, accessible to young children. * Science Books & Films *This colorful book traces a single plastic bottle from manufacture, through its use as a water bottle, to its journey through the recycling process and its formation into a bottle again.

Pack your bags, and get ready to follow it on its incredible journey!Trade ReviewThis fun picture book takes kids on an exhilarating ride through the eyes of a drop of rain. Tumbling from a cloud, the raindrop is part of a rainbow before it falls into a stream and later splashes into a lake, where it gets sucked up into a water treatment plant. From there it goes into a faucet, is drunk by a child, and sweated out. The sweat falls to the sidewalk and turns to water vapor, where it gathers with other droplets to finally create a cloud, freezes and becomes a snowflake. The cartoon-like illustrations and pithy comments from the drops enliven the water cycle story and the book includes in depth parts of the cycle to explain how we get clean drinking water—but keeps it simple to understand. A straightforward narrative details specifics about each spread the kids should have a good time reading about the water cycle. The idea of all our water moving constantly and being recycled is a fascinating one to young learners and this book is a great way to introduce the water cycle. http://simplyscience.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/new-post-will-be-late/ * Simply Science blog *
