"Nelson's voice is chirpy though never condescending and always reinforces what is happening in the photos....[T]his ought to rev up kids for some helpful fun in the sun." —Booklist
"In a first-person voice, Nelson takes us into one elementary-school class' 'special project'—cleaning up the local park. Each two-page chapter uses one sentence per page to deliver the simple step-by-step process: put on gloves, receive a garbage bag from the teacher, divide into groups, spread out, and then go to it. Nelson's voice is chirpy though never condescending and always reinforces what is happening in the photos: 'Adults help with broken glass.' The photos, which take up three-fourths of each page, are posed shots of a multicultural class happily picking up soda cans and newspapers. There is little specificity here, which is mostly not an issue, though given that this is from the First Step Nonfiction: Responsibility in Action series, you might expect there to be an ecological reasoning provided for this cleanup—the sole nod to the environment is a photo of students separating out recyclable objects. Still, this ought to rev up kids for some helpful fun in the sun." —Booklist
