The Little Composter (Teenie Greenies) by Jan Gerardi-ADVISABLE

Gerardi, Jan. The Little Composter (Teenie Greenies) [Board book], 16 pages. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2011. $6.99. Language-G; Violence-G; Sexual Content-G. Gerardi shows how a young child builds a compost in this back-to-the-earth, lift-the-flap board book. My kids loved lifting the flaps to see what food scraps they can and should be putting in the compost bin, instead of in the garbage! This could be used in a classroom setting to talk about the importance of compost and of growing one’s own garden. Pre-K. El (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
