Product Description
Litterbug Doug is lazy. He is wasteful. He is messy. But worst of all, he hates recycling! The clean and green town where he lives is in danger from his lazy ways, not to mention suffering from the stench released by the mountains of garbage that Doug leaves wherever he goes! So strong is its stink that even the army of rats that follow Doug around are rethinking their friendship with him.

This is a continuation story about recycling. The graphics are just as vivid and the storyline and emphasis is easy to follow and it educates children how they can be more environmentally conscience. Very preschool age appropriate.

Would you like to live on the top of a garbage dump? Most people would prefer not to do so, but near a clean little town in a beautiful valley, there was a mountain of waste which was the home of Litterbug Doug. No one wanted to go near, except a hundred-odd rats and two fat tabby cats. It was a rotting, moldy, smelly, stinky mess! But then one day there came a green-caped crusader named Michael Recycle. What did he do? And did Doug learn anything? We all need to help the environment by wasting less and recycling more. The rhyming text by Ellie Bethel and humorous illustrations by Alexandra Colombo of this sequel to Michael Recycle (2008) will help to reinforce this important fact in the minds of children and to promote the idea of working together to protect our planet. In the back there are two pages of trash facts from Doug, which are based on information from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, and two more of Go Green Tips from Michael himself. Michael Recycle Meets Litterbug Doug, which is printed on recycled paper, of course, will prove both interesting and useful for youngsters, teachers, and parents alike.

What a great way to introduce kiddos to recycling. Charming illustrations, sing-song rhymes. Fun to read with a good lesson that slips under the radar. Love it.

In this sequel to Michael Recycle, he meets Litterbug Doug, a kid who doesn’t want to be clean or recycle. Basically Michael Recycle is the good guy, and Litterbug Doug is the bad guy. The good guy reforms the bad guy, and all is well. I felt like I had heard this story before, and the prose in some areas didn’t work for me. I haven’t read the first Michael Recycle, so I don’t know how that one reads, but I had hoped for more originality considering the subject of the book.

I already had Michael Recycle, and I really like this second book that introduces a different character. Doug is converted to a “clean, green” way of life after seeing what litter does to the environment. Nice way to convey the concept of taking care of the earth.

Interesting…unquestionably food for thought. I hope you don’t mind if I pass this on to a few other folks I know.
