In Composting: Nature's Recyclers, Robin Koontz has created an
eye-catching book for young people that explains the process of
composting, a form of recycling. The book introduces the young
reader, visually and in words, to the natural process of how nature
converts plant and animal material to organic compost. Side notes
on every other page provide "fun facts" for the learner. Readers
can relate to the composting process when they see leaves in the
fall become the end product in the spring. The author includes a
hands-on composting lesson, a good glossary, and additional
references for parents and teachers, for further exploration. This
is definitely a resource book for the classroom, as well as a book
for parents to use with their children.-- "Science Books &
