Why do we need to save Earth? Does recycling really help? Does compost stink? This series, translated into North American Spanish, answers kids' questions about the environment. The Q&A format helps build research skills. A "Keep Curious!" feature encourages further learning and builds critical thinking skills.
  What is composting and how does it work? And does it stink? Ignite kids' growing curiosity about green living with an inquiry-based approach to composting. Composting takes food scraps, dried leaves, and old newspapers, and with the help of billions of tiny bacteria, turns it into nutritious garden soil. Conversational Q&A guides elementary readers on a critical thinking journey with accessible text about what to put in compost bins, how to make sure it doesn't stink, the difference between hot and cold compost, and how composting can help save Earth from climate change. Colorful, engaging infographics help visual learners understand new concepts. A "Keep Curious!" feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while also functioning as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
