Love and Respect the Land you live on.

Michelle Green’s Calvin and the Magic Formula is a delightful blend of adventure and education, making it a must-read for young learners. Through the charming characters of Calvin the Carrot and Amna the Apple, the book introduces children to the fascinating world of composting in a way that feels like an exciting discovery rather than a lesson.

One of the book’s greatest strengths is its ability to simplify a complex environmental concept into a fun and accessible narrative. Mrs. Yuki’s ‘magic formula’ not only teaches kids about composting but also inspires curiosity about sustainability and the natural world. The story encourages young readers to think about where their food waste goes and how they can make a positive impact on the environment.

The engaging writing style, combined with vibrant illustrations, makes the book an immersive experience. Green’s ability to weave facts into the storyline ensures that children absorb important lessons without feeling like they’re being taught. Additionally, the interactive elements—such as activities and a step-by-step composting guide—encourage hands-on learning, making the book an excellent resource for parents and educators alike.

In all, Calvin and the Magic Formula is more than just a fun story; it’s a valuable educational tool that sparks curiosity and promotes eco-friendly habits. Whether read at home or in the classroom, this book is a fantastic way to introduce children to the wonders of composting and the importance of sustainability.
