One of the best ways to teach kids lessons is to make them laugh -- and think -- by telling a story they can picture themselves in. With humorous and charming artwork and rhyme, The Day the Trash Came Out to Play describes a case of littering gone wild, as all the trash in town escapes their receptacles and "comes out to play." The litterbug learns his lesson and in the process brings his community together to practice the four "R"s of environmental activism: rethink, reduce, reuse, and recycle. It's a lesson all kids need to be exposed to and this book does it very well." - Jim Barnes, Editor, Independent Publisher Online

The recent interview David M. Beadle had on the Michael Medved Radio Show was very successful and produced a lot of interest in the book. Ezra's Earth publishing would like to thank Michael Medved for allowing David air time.

Here's what one teacher said in praise of The Day the Trash Came Out to Play

My students loved the book and they felt extremely motivated to clean up around the school after reading it. We have had a recycling program for a few years now at school, but now the students are bringing recyclables from home to add to our collection; the money goes into buying new bins and other items for the recycling program. I plan to read this to every class I have from now on, and every child that I come into contact with. It has such an important message that I have been trying to teach to my students since I started teaching, but it conveys the message in a fun yet educational way.
