reviewed We Are Extremely Very Good Recyclers by Lauren Child (Charlie and Lola, #23)

Awkward Representation of Recycling

Genuinely baffled by this presentation of recycling. It doesn't even particularly explain why recycling is good (if it actually is), but it does position it as a school-wide contest so that they can get a tree to plant?

Again, while this isn't insulting, it is... excessively common and not quite right. And it's definitely a way that people reinforce very simplistic and common actions as inherently correct and without actually engaging with the topic at hand, even at a level that is good for a young child.
