Rubbish? Not any more!



Trade Review

"Combining a brightly illustrated narrative with a sense of tips and resource ideas, children 3+ will be inspired by the raft of creative ideas for making unwanted rubbish into castles, puppets, masks, mobiles and more. With diverse characters and accessible short chunks of dialogue this hardback is perfect to read and share in EYEFS settings or at home.

Packed with imaginative and meaningful upcycling fun. Rubbish? Don’t Throw it Away! Is a joyful antidote to waste and leftovers."

* School Reading List *

"This book is perfect for school as well as home, showing that up-cycling can be great fun. Caring for the use and also the re-use of the world’s resources is an important lesson to share with young children, showing how up- cycling rather than recycling can be a fun every day activity. Be inspired and see how much you can do with your own “rubbish”.
