Compost Stew

Submitted by Ms. Sue!
Compost Stew: An A to Z Recipe for the Earth by Mary McKenna Siddals, and illustrated by Ashley Wolff, is a poetic storybook about how you can put together your own compost pile or container at home. In this colorful collage illustrated book, using recycled and used materials, readers will find ingredients like apple cores, bruised bananas, hair snippings, insects, and other everyday used stuff to put into compost stew. What seems like ordinary trash and kitchen scraps become ingredients to add to the pot to rot. From A to Z you will learn about all the stuff you can use to make a compost stew. At the end of this rhyming alphabet book you will see the “Chef’s Note.” It contains useful information, and what not to use in your compost stew. When it’s done, you’re ready to spread it on the ground–mother earth’s treat! See this book listed in our catalog
