The Soda Bottle School: A True Story of Recycling, Teamwork, and One Crazy Idea

32 pp. | Tilbury | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-88448-371-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Aileen Darragh. In the Guatemalan village of Granados, a teacher gets the idea to expand the too-small school by building walls with "bricks" of discarded soda bottles stuffed with trash, and one student mobilizes the townsfolk to complete the construction. The included author's note is somewhat redundant, but the story of resourcefulness and cooperation is well paced and illustrated with friendly, gestural watercolors. Glos.
