Litterbugs Come in Every Size by Norah Smaridge

Occasionally I will be featuring children's and youth fiction. Good stories for kids are especially important and can solidify a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Today's remedy for reality is one of my favorite children's books. I still own my childhood copy that both of my daughters also enjoyed. A bit ragged at 40ish years, but still wonderful!

This is a fantastic story about keeping our environment clean and healthy.  It has incredible colorful illustrations and silly characters and fun rhymes.

It tells young children the importance of being a "Neato" who cares for other, their environment and possessions, rather than being a "Litterbug" who are gross, dirty and disrespectful.

First line... "Litterbugs come in every size, their really monsters in disguise".

This book is a lot of fun, and manages to have a good moral lesson while still being interesting and engaging for kids. Five stars!
