(4) K-3 After eating their way through mounds of school buses, bed frames, toilets, toxic waste, and other trash, two massive junk-munching robots return a junkyard to its natural state by planting gardens, building playgrounds, and creating lakes. Digital illustrations go from appropriately hectic scribbled messes to brightly colored natural scenes, while the falteringly metered but highly energetic rhymes cleverly deliver the environmental message.
