Bobby Bin’s Busy Day

by

Rina Croft

Follow an unsung hero through his busy day of trash removal and recycling.

Bobby Bin’s Busy Day by Rina Croft is a vividly illustrated, interesting, and fun peek into the job of an island sanitation worker. Bobby is happy and confident in his job, keeping his island home free of trash, and in his actions, which make the most of what he collects while protecting the environment. 

Rina Croft uses deep, vibrant colors in her vivid illustrations of Bobby’s job, life, and the role he plays in the larger picture of controlling the waste humans generate daily. The jewel-like blues create a calm and beautiful backdrop for Bobby’s story, and, although it is a cartoon-type illustration, I was still ready to book a trip to Banana Island! Young readers will be drawn to the sumptuous colors and surprised by what goes on behind the scenes to keep our trash from building up and becoming a problem. 

Croft does a great service by highlighting one of the unsung heroes of daily life. I recommend BOBBY BIN’S BUSY DAY for use at home with young readers and listeners, schools, and after-school programs. Well done!
