What is Rubbish? Don't Throw It Away! about?

At Dragonfly Nursery, children discover that old and unwanted things can have a brilliant new life. Fir cones become owls, paper plates turn into animal masks, and a cardboard box becomes a castle. Even odd socks can become cheerful puppets, while an old sink is transformed into a wildlife pond for water lilies and frogs. With simple Make-It instructions to follow, this lively picture book introduces young children to upcycling and encourages them to look at everyday rubbish in a creative new way.
