Pierre the French Bulldog Recycles by Kate Louise and illustrated by Bethany Straker is a picture book for ages 3-6. My kindergartener has taken up a recent interest in recycling that she clearly picked up from school and she has been telling her 3 year old sister all about it. I like to find books that pertain to what she is learning at school so this book is absolutely perfect.
Like most dogs, Pierre, a French bulldog, loves the excitement of digging things up. He hoards his treasures in a hole in the backyard and then makes space for more. One day Pierre tosses some old stuff into the trash can, but he forgets to recycle. Now, instead of being transformed into new things, that plastic bottle and newspaper will sit in a landfill forever! Well, not if Pierre has anything to do with it. He chases the garbage truck through town, but will he catch it in time, or will those treasures be trash forever
Kate Louise’s story is a great reminder about the importance of recycling. Combined with Bethany Straker’s expressive and quirky illustrations this adorable pup’s story come to life on every page. This book is sure to remind kids about the importance of saving the environment and it can all start right at home.
