Illustrated by Yvonne Cathcart
The story of how Katherine ignored a drinks can thrown away in her garden and ended up drowning in litter makes an entertaining introduction to the idea that we can all take responsibility for our own surroundings. Sometimes it's hard to believe that the odd can here or there makes much difference, but Katherine's determined action is an example to us all. Jolly illustrations and a clear storyline make this an ideal book to read aloud to infants as a lead-in to work on environmental issues.
