Review:  “Nature Recycles How About You”  walks you and your child through the process that nature uses to recycle from how one crab outgrows his shell and leaves it and another critter comes along making it his home. Then birds use "recycled" materials to create their nests - threads, twigs, grasses - even a ribbon they might find.

The child is shown how he or she can recycle used and outgrown clothes for someone else or even to remake it for something else for themselves. The child is challenged to use materials that will not hurt the environment.

Bright and colorful illustrations show creatures and environments appealingly.  In the back of the book is a "Creative Minds" section that has information to challenge and instruct beyond a "story telling" mode.
