The Dumpster Dive By:
Janet S. Wong
Three kids and a man named Steve are the dumpster diving team. Steve dives into the dumpsters while the kids hold the hose to spray him and the treasure that he finds. They use their creative minds to think of anything the junk could be. If they think someone could use it in their apartment building they give it to them. In the end they make a wheel chair for Steve because he got cu up while dumpster diving.
I thought this was a cute story, definitely something children would enjoy no matter what age.

Something Big Has Been
Here By: Jack Prelutsky
This book has so many poems in it and no two are alike. There are poems from turkeys being stuffed with popcorn, boys eating liver, a berserk robot without an off switch, hard meat loafs used to build houses, and a brother who shares everything including chicken pox.
I thought this was a cute book of poems. This is great book for children to get rhyme and rhythm in their head to make sense of how a simple poem is constructed.
