Collins Big Cat e-Resources are rooted in the books, but extend learning to develop every aspect of pupils' literacy skills. e-Resources contain: * a beautifully animated version of the book, including audio and music, to inspire children of all abilities* a sound bank to develop speaking and listening skills* up to ten interactive whiteboard activities and activity sheets to develop and extend learning* Story Creator software, to help children convert reading into writing by using images from the book to create their own texts* comprehensive teacher's notes. These resources can be used on PCs and interactive whiteboards. This is a paid-for download of the e-Resource. In this non-fiction recount of a family trip to the dump, simple text combined with Ley Honor Roberts lively and inimitable cartoon-photo collage style brings environmental issues to life.

The family's journey around the dump shows how different materials are sorted into different containers, ready for recycling.

A diagram on pages 14 and 15 provides a chance to recap where each material was deposited.
