See Inside Why Plastic is a Problem by Katie Daynes is an essential, eye-opening addition to the famous Usborne lift-the-flap series. This interactive board book tackles one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time in a way that is accessible, engaging, and ultimately hopeful for young readers. Through over 60 sturdy flaps, children can explore the history of plastic, how it is manufactured, and why its durability—once considered its greatest strength—has led to a global pollution crisis.
The book takes readers on a journey from the invention of plastic to the modern day, showing exactly where plastic goes when we throw it away. From the depths of the oceans to the bellies of sea creatures, it illustrates the impact of microplastics and waste on our delicate ecosystems. However, the narrative doesn’t just focus on the problem; it provides practical and empowering advice on how we can all help, including the “three Rs”: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
With vibrant illustrations by Maddie Frost and clear, expert-backed text, this book is a perfect educational tool for families and schools. It encourages children to question our “throwaway” culture and inspires them to find creative ways to live with less plastic. It is a fantastic resource for fostering environmental responsibility and scientific curiosity in children aged 6 and up.
