Tika is a glass baby food jar. She is nervous and excited to go on her adventure to a new house. She knows that, once she finishes that adventure, she will be recycled and ready for a new adventure. If she is lucky, she will end up a medicine bottle. At her new home, she has a quick adventure and runs into a somewhat gloomy ketchup bottle. Where will their recycling adventure lead them?
This story is cute, but unfortunately, I don't see an audience for it. It isn't educational, so it doesn't have much of a place in a classroom talking about recycling. It is way too fictional for that option. Very small children, possibly preschool age, might enjoy it as an introduction to a recycling lesson.
The illustrations are colorful and okay. They aren't super exciting or catchy, but they aren't bad either. That seems to be the whole theme of the book to me. It is cute, but not super cute. It is just an okay story with no necessary value. It definitely could have been worse, but it also could have been better.
