I think this book is a bit too short but it‘s still a cute representation of the recycling process. I think that kids do wonder what happens to the stuff they use after they‘re done with it and I think this story gives them a small answer to their questions.
This book is short but a great book to introduce kids to the importance of recycling. I‘m sure all kids have wondered what happens before they get boxes and after they‘re done with them. Although this book is told from the POV of a box it‘s still an important starting book for all kids.
Finished my last 2023 read early this afternoon (The Rose Code by Kate Quinn) and this was my final count for the year.
I don‘t know if I will set a book goal for 2024.
This makes me so happy. The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are the G.O.A.T. 😍

This is a fascinating read with some great ideas, but it's hard not to be skeptical about anything “eco“ these days, with so much greenwashing going on. It seemed more like a beautiful dream than anything else, though the authors were involved in some big things like a Ford plant revamp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_River_Rouge_complex#Renova...
Hello #LitsyCrafters
I've been thinking about 2024 & how to move forward with the group. This year has been a tough one for me & I feel like I haven't been a good host or participant. I'm wondering how you all feel about the group. Do you like the monthly themes? Is there something else you would prefer? What would you like to get out of the group? Do you want the #LitsyCrafters group to continue or just have the tag live on by itself?

#IdiomInsight Day 10: You will not literally #BreakALeg even if you on this patchwork bike. The entire story is uplifting, irreverent, and filled with energy. The Afterword written by both the author and the illustrator is also illuminating as it speaks of their influences, their background, and the visual codes embedded in the narrative.

Readers who enjoyed this book might also enjoy "Wasteland" by Oliver Franklin-Wallis.
There are lots of suggestions in the book, some of which I already know about or do. Many, though, (especially the fixes, but even some of the maintenance to help things last longer) require someone handier than I. I am not handy at all. That being said, I do plan to hold on to the book so I can check if there is something I might be able to do with something when it‘s time to get rid of it. I already try to use most things until they die.
