A Recycling Adventure to the Steel Mill

Your favorite recycling heroes are back! Join Ellie and her sister Lexi, along with Mr. Ferrous Magglio-the talking magnet who loves metal recycling-and Gallium the Unicorn, as they continue their journey to learn what happens to metal after it leaves the scrapyard. This time, they're joined by new friends Senni the Sennebogen Giraffe and the amazing team at Nucor Steel in Seattle. After seeing Daddy's truck get shredded at the scrapyard, Ellie and her friends follow the recycled metal to the Steel Mill. There, they suit up in safety gear to watch the incredible process of metal being melted down and transformed into something brand new. From rebar in buildings to steel in the Space Needle, the Unicorn Association headquarters, new trucks, and so much more, the kids discover that recycled steel is everywhere! But their adventure doesn't stop there; at the end of the story, Ellie and her family travel all the way to Hawai'i, where they see a real volcano erupting lava and compare it to the molten metal they witnessed in the mill. The journey shows Ellie-and young readers-that recycling is as powerful as nature itself. Packed with color, fun, and adventure, "A Recycling Adventure to the Steel Mill" teaches kids that they can help protect our planet and oceans by recycling metal, even if they don't live near the sea. If you look around your community, you'll spot recycled steel all around you, proving that every can or piece of metal saved from the trash has the power to become something amazing.
