(4) K-3 When a park is overrun by "hangouts" who litter, graffiti, and otherwise scare off "old-timers" and parents, narrator Angelo and his grandfather join a neighborhood group. After their cleanup efforts are undone, the unlikeliest of park-goers restore order. Although the book is slow to gain momentum, the dialogue is snappy, the message is subtly articulated, and the gouache illustrations bring the community to life.
