Compost Stew: An A to Z Recipe for the Earth

32 pp. | Tricycle | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58246-316-2 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Wolff. Bouncy, rhyming verse suggests compost items in alphabetical order: "Mulch removed from garden beds / Nutshells / Oatmeal / Paper shreds." Though purists will balk at the illustration of metal staples on teabags being tossed into the stew, especially when the back matter decrees "not a shred of metal" should be added, the gouache and collage art is otherwise cheerful and inviting.
