by Sandy McKay.

Suitable for a 7-8 year old.
Colin Kennedy (Recycled) is back in yet another humorous environmental story.
Colin is now in Year 8 and his new teacher cares more about PE than the
environment. In fact she thinks Colin is the weirdest kid she has ever
met. Colin is a dedicated Eco-warrior though and is involved in the
school's Green Group run by Mr Read. When Mr Read announces that a
stand of native trees is in danger of being cut down Colin is
determined to do anything to stop it - he's even prepared to wear a
bird suit to get his message across.
Includes statistics about trees, especially natives, destruction of forests and
conservation efforts.
