Part of the Environental Education series, this is children's books with a difference. World-wide Waste is written as narrative non-fiction, and the format is an interview with Dumpi, a very chatty crumpled paper bag, and his mates who are on a mission to stop a Poo-Looter from doing his daily dirty business. Author Caren Trafford invites children and parents alike to look at the huge waste issues around the world and urges them to do something about them. Blending fascinating factoids, wicked humour and fun, Trafford succeeds in making the educational fun.
