Down in the Dumps: Trash vs. Trucks is about a trash heap and its inhabitants. This book follows a few pieces of refuse as they try to keep their trash heap where it is, to keep the giant dump trucks from scooping them up and relocating them. The prose is easy to follow and the adventure itself is engaging. The artwork adds to the overall ease of understanding and fun for the reader. An interesting addition to the book is that every now and then it stops and comments on how much the reader has read, which can be a nice benchmark for someone who may need a little encouragement.
