Part of the Exploring Our Community series,author Ritchie introduces readers to Nick and his friends who are learning about plastic pollution. They are challenged to go one day without using single use plastic. Told in story form, this book is filled with facts about the use and misuse of single-use plastics.This is the plastic we use once and throw away: forks, lids, straws, and how it affects every living thing on the planet. The author also explains in text and illustration how plastic is made.  The  text is in two forms, a story form simple and easy for those younger readers and then a bolder more deliberate form for the scientist reader. Each page of text  is supported  with illustrations digitally rendered. There is a glossary of words to know in the back of the book and many suggestions on how to live a more plastic free. This is an excellent STEAM introduction to one of our planets biggest contributors to pollution. It is a must for every library and every reader. CREAM
