by Alison Inches

The Adventures of an Aluminum Can: A Story about Recycling (Little Green Books) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Peek into the diary

of an aluminum can as it goes on a journey from inside a

bauxite rock to the manufacturing line to the store shelf to a

garbage can and finally to a recycling plant, where it emerges into

its new life . . . as a baseball bat!

This story is told from the perspective of an adventurous

aluminum can. The diary entries are fun and humorous, yet

point out the ecological significance behind each product

and the resources used to make it.
