(3) K-3 Illustrated by Red Nose Studio. After a Long Island town puts its unwanted garbage on a barge, North Carolina is the first of several ports to refuse it. Told with asides to the reader and stuffed with comical accents and spiky dialogue ("What the hairy heck?"), this uproarious book, based on a true 1987 incident, features remarkable illustrations created from, appropriately enough, recycled materials.
