Book Description

September 1998 3 and up
When a fox cleans his den to prepare for a visit from his uncle, his trash inadvertently makes the rounds of other animals' homes before ending up right back where it began.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1?Fox, a very sloppy fellow, is cleaning house in preparation for the visit of his Uncle Ferdinand. He unconsciously sweeps his trash into a hole...which leads into the home of his neighbor Badger. Badger is upset, and in turn sweeps the garbage unknowingly into Rabbit's family's hole. The rabbits whisk the refuse away into Partridge's nest. Mole is the next victim, and he angrily sweeps the mess back out into the road just as Uncle Ferdinand is arriving. The story ends with a twist; when a family of mice finds the trash to be full of treasures, they ask if they can keep it. The progression of the story is fun, and children will begin to anticipate the next disastrous dumping escapade. The colorful cartoon artwork makes this a good read-aloud selection. Anyone looking for a simple picture book on trash awareness and recycling could use it.?JoAnn Jonas, New York Public Library

A good read-aloud selection. Anyone looking for a simple picture book on trash awareness and recycling could use it. -- School Library Journal, March, 1999

Hobson's homey illustrations-these homes may be subterranean, but they are full of cheer and light and even antimacassars-give the story a warm glow even as it offers straight talk on trash. -- Kirkus Reviews, August 19, 1998

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for young kids!, October 11, 1999
This review is from: Another Fine Mess (Hardcover)
This a great, yet simple book for children who just can't seem to get their prized possesions put up where they belong. Even good for those college kids who "stuff" things under their beds when family is coming.
