The Garbage Monster by Joni Sensel, Christopher L.
Bibins (Illustrator), Christopher Bivins (Illustrator), Chris Bivins
When Jo is slow to take out the trash one evening, the garbage comes
to life and hauls her outside instead. The beast threatens mayhem throughout
the neighborhood, but Jo is undaunted. She plucks him limb from limb,
finding another use for his cardboard head, fibrous fanny, and other
various parts. By the time she is done, Jo sees how recycling can be
a resourceful way to put the beast back in his place-and make an unpleasant
chore more fun. This book brings to life the benefits of recycling and
the hazards of a wasteful attitude.
