RedReviewStarK-Gr 5—Environmental educator Steve Trash teams with musician Kelvin Holly on this collection of eight original eco-educational songs. Driven by electric guitar and backed by blues and rock 'n' roll beats, each of these tunes is entertaining and fun without ever feeling didactic. The green theme runs throughout the album, emphasizing the importance of reducing waste, recycling, solar energy and the wonder that is planet Earth. The rich, clever lyrics of songs, such as "The Ballad of Ed and Able," which teaches the difference between recycled and recyclable, and "Aluminum Can Blues," will keep children engaged, dancing, moving, and learning. A great resource to use in classroom settings as well as fun for the whole family to enjoy. A must-have for every collection.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
