Join Ellie and her friends on their latest adventure! Having already achieved the incredible feat of recycling 1 million cans, they're not done yet. Now, they're on a mission to tackle the problem of metal items needlessly being thrown away. Determined to make a difference, they gather wires, Christmas lights, pots and pans, unicorn shoes, and other metal items from their community. Then, they head to the local scrapyard to turn these treasures into valuable resources through recycling. With the help of their friends Mr. Ferrous Magglio and Gallium the Unicorn, they set off on an exciting journey to the scrapyard, where they learn about the different types of metals and the importance of recycling. We believe your kids will not only love this story but also be inspired to join in neighborhood clean-up efforts and even earn some extra cash for their piggy bank. Happy reading and recycling!
