[LM_NET] HIT: Elem : garbage in the streets

[Barbara Fritz <fritzlibrary@YAHOO.COM>]

Original posting: 

I have a 4th gr. teacher who needs a book on how the
world dwelt with garbage before we were concerned with
the environment. A picture book would be best but not
vital. She is currently teaching about environmental
laws and would like to show the students how
disgusting it was when people threw garbage in the
street and we had open sewers. 

I'm stumped

Thanks to all for the help.

**************

For some reason, the book An American Plague: The True
and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of
1793 comes to mind.  It is nonfiction, NOT a picture
book, but has lots of pictures of primary resources. 
I seem to remember some good information about the
plague being caused by filth such as this teacher
described but cannot remember if a picture is
included...

Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg

*******************

Gee Whiz: It's All About Pee (I think this is the
title)
The Truth About Poop 

Both by Susan Goodman. Gives the history of how people
dealt with these thru history! Full of all sorts of
fun information! We have long waiting lists for both!

What you never knew about tubs, toilets, and showers /

I haven't put this into my general collection, but it
is for general use

This isn't really what you're looking for, but the
teacher may be interested in this one too: Tracking
Trash by Loree Griffin Burns
(Houghton Mifflin, 2007).  It's about plastic trash in
the ocean.

We have a local book that was donated to us by the
Suffolk Clean
Communities Commission, called "The Day the Trash Came
Out to Play" by
David M. Beadle.  It is pretty cute and colorful!
