About this title

Review:

"Will intrigue readers, and the artwork has a charm all its own." --Booklist "The fascination of collecting and creating, of turning garbage into something splendid, shines through the book. . . . As well as being a story of individual human achievement, this could serve as an inspiration for some classroom art projects." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The book can stand on its own, but could also spark an interesting discussion on art and its role in our society." --School Library Journal
