Description

Get your empty bottles and cans ready--Maisy's here to recycle them! A shaped-board-book adventure to please every truck-loving fan.

It's trash day today, and here come Maisy and Tallulah in a big, noisy recycling truck. Quick, Charley, they're only one house away! Whoosh--his bin goes up into the truck. Next it's Cyril's bottles and cans, making a clink-clank-clunk noise. Eddie's old cardboard gets squished, and Dotty adds her yogurt and juice containers to the mix. Everyone's on board to send their old things to a factory to be made into new things. Recycling can be fun!
