Age 3+. When this lovely book came in we were bowled over by it, both because of its 'Green' theme but also because of the terrific interaction of illustration and straightforward text. The character of Michael Recycle is an-all action hero and young kids, particularly boys, of course love to associate themselves with heroes; Perfect for kids just starting to read alone or alongside their parents. A great way to inform children from an early age of the importance of recycling. Well done Meadowside.
A small town somewhere near you is in desperate need of salvation...from drowning in rubbish at the hands of its lazy and wasteful inhabitants! Join Michael Recycle, the green-caped crusader, as he rescues the town and proves to the lazy layabouts that recycling can actually be quite good fun!
Ellie, like Peter Pan, never really wanted to grow up. Unfortunately these things happen and in a desperate attempt to slow the process of time she immerses herself regularly in children's books, despite not being a child anymore. She practically eats books. In this way Ellie's brain has become so jam-packed with stories that sometimes they spill over. She was eleven when her first poem was published and following that she scribbled her way through her teenage years. Ellie has lived all over the place; Belize, Spain, New York . . . but has now swapped the bright lights for the quiet life in a quaint fishing village in Kent, where she finds inspiration in the strangest places, usually by the sea or with a latte in her local coffee shop! Her first children's book, 'Michael Recycle', was published to great acclaim in February 2008 and she has a second book 'The Tail Of The Whale' coming out in October 2008. The sequel to 'Michael Recycle', which is entitled 'Litterbug Doug', will be published in February 2009.
