Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- Something's wrong in the town of Beaston. Dimwitted Mayor Hippo takes a while to discover the problem, but readers will soon catch on: "Beaston has too much trash." Investigating possible solutions to the excess garbage, the mayor and his animal retinue visit the town dump, incinerator, and landfill, briefly discussing the pros and cons of each: "The incinerator burns trash and makes energy!" but "It makes air pollution too!" Declaring a "Trash Bash," the animals launch a comprehensive clean-up and recycling campaign. Their ideas for cutting down on trash are easy enough to follow, if occasionally simplistic ("I only buy returnable bottles"). Attractively illustrated in ink and watercolor, the book has a comic-strip format and an engaging cast of characters. A list of "ideas for cutting down on trash" is appended. Timely, appealing, and funny. --Ruth Smith, Chicago Public Library

The animals of Beaston realize something's wrong: litter mars their landscape, landfills are filling up, and no one wants a new dump in their neighborhood. Their solutions are exemplary, and followed up with a list of ``Ideas for cutting down on trash.'' Sensible, amusingly presented, with an excellent range of familiar but realistic suggestions. The illustrations' comical style helps make the message palatable. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
