Junkyard
by Mike Austin
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Nature: rehabilitating junkyards
A fun rhyming exploration of the mounds of trash within a junkyard. The Munching Machines start clearing out the trash by shoving all that nastiness in their mouths. The illustrations are a contained sort-of messiness that allow you to focus on the items mentioned in the text, creating a kind of search-and-find. The picture book takes an interesting turn as the Munching Machines perform more than digesting trash--they bring back trees, and parks, and playgrounds to the once trashed area.
There is one problem point that children will be sure to point out. After all the rubbish is swept away, one small stack remains. BUT IT IS NEVER CLEANED UP OR TALKED ABOUT AGAIN. Oh, the unfinished misery.
