Review: Excellent educational book on what happens to trash - Excellent book explaining all about garbage and what happens to all our trash. Very enlightening, even for adults! My 3rd and 4th grade students loved it. Review: Grandma 24 - My four year old grandchild had been asking her mother questions as to why they had to dispose of things in different places ,I quickly offered to find material on this. SURE ENOUGH "Where Does the Garbage Go?" was perfect She has enjoyed this book very much and I noticed her checking out our home for our recycling site. SO GLAD!.
