Bobbie Bin's Busy Day


 Meet Bobbie Bin, the dedicated garbage man of the enchanting Banana Island. Bobbie ensures the Sundae Dream Hotel is trash-free every day.

 Starting before sunrise, Bobbie embarks on his cleaning mission, taking pride in his green uniform and trusted garbage truck.

 

From collecting trash along the pathways and the beach, to collecting garbage and recyclables from restaurants and other areas, Bobbie's hard work often goes unnoticed but is crucial to the hotel's charm...

Bobbie finishes his day by heading to the recycling plant, where he is amazed to see how recyclable materials transform into new and exciting products, making his job rewarding despite its challenges.

 

With colourful illustrations and a heartwarming story, Bobbie Bin's Busy Day teaches children the importance of hard work, cleanliness, and environmental responsibility.


my review...

A garbage truck driver might not be your first search for a children’s book. But it’s too bad that this author hasn’t written more books about various jobs that people do. What might seem like a mundane occupation is explained here in the way it should be. That all people are necessary and that a lot of people work very hard and have a great deal of pride in the work they do. What possible better lesson could a child learn?

But you can sneak this learning right into your child’s brain without them even thinking you’re trying to. The text is well written and easy to read, and the illustrations make it fun. The author has also left a parent or caretaker many opportunities to ask questions for open discussions.

Great book.
