Liam, a young rabbit, lives in the deep wood and cultivates his land diligently. Then, one night, a box tumbles out of a truck passing by the woods onto Liam’s veggie farm. The contents of the box are plastic wrappers. They’re so bright and colorful but equally dangerous because they are pollutants, so his mom says. Liam goes about asking other animals about plastic pollution. How can dolls, balloons, and cups possibly be harmful? In Reduce, Reuse, Recycle with Liam, the Smart Rabbit by Azaliya Schulz, you’ll learn about the effects of plastic, impressive alternatives to plastic items, and how to conserve plastic properly. “Plastic is in so many things; it’s quite scary.”
Azaliya Schulz’s Reduce, Reuse, Recycle with Liam, the Smart Rabbit is a lovely educational children’s book on plastic pollution. Its colorful illustrations make it outstanding and more relatable, and its unique subject matter makes for an engaging read. It uses a conversational narrative with rhyming verses, which I think is very creative. I liked Schulz’s choice of simple words and use of everyday objects to explain plastic pollution; it made me aware of all the little things I had previously overlooked. Another thing I liked about this short story is that so many animal characters are used to convey crucial information. There is much to learn; I believe children will like it, so I recommend it.
