The Dumpster Diver

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-2380-7 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Roberts. Dumpster diver Steve recruits the narrator and his pals to hose down the treasure he extracts. Then, disaster: the dumpster trash collapses and Steve gets hurt. Strips of text on found-paper backgrounds are pasted across the pages--form mimicking content. For Roberts, Wong's deft, economical script is only the beginning. Felicitously paired, they've made a snappy, inventive book.
