Our school has gardens and compost bins so this was a great find for the early childhood classrooms.

What a unique an engaging book! The illustrations are fascinating and I really loved the rhymes. It’s not often that an alphabet book flows along so seamlessly, especially one that tackles such a unique subject. This works well as a read aloud and I think would be even better with one on one sharing so everyone can fully enjoy the captivating illustrations. This is a perfect choice for any preschool or kindergarten classroom looking to introduce environmental issues and activities, since creating a compost stew is something anyone can do! A huge recommend both for the text and illustrations.
