This is a great book to teach about taking care of the environment. It will cover the pollution aspect of 2nd grade very well. It also make you think about making the right choice. It has a be careful what you wish for theme as well.

This is a great story to use as a readers' theatre to do with students. It is humorous and would engage the class and it also teaches the importance of recycling and picking up trash.

Great story about a wizard who gets tired of litterbugs trashing his lawn, so he creates a spell where the trash gets stuck to those who threw it away. I especially love his cry of "Slobs!" as he angrily cleans up his lawn.

This book is one of the best explanations for why I am what I am. And yes, it is about garbage.
