Reviews
Maisy, who was once a mouse of simple concerns, is now a “Go with Maisy” powerhouse model of modern industry. Here she takes on recycling, and she and Tallulah gather glass from one neighbor, yogurt cups from another, cardboard, paper, and just keep going. At the end, readers see how it is all sorted at the recycling center into specific bins. VERDICT Recycling 101 from everyone’s favorite mouse! It’s a primer, and it’s never too early to teach children the importance of helping out.
