Will Hillenbrand.
Two young pigs eagerly awaken one morning to the sounds of the garbage truck outside their bedroom window. Lively descriptive language--"Gooey, gloppy. / Slimy, sloppy. / Truck's a rolling bug buffet"--and a bright green bottomless pit of a garbage truck with red headlights for eyes and a gaping "mouth" add to the thrill as the pigs watch the garbage collectors at work.
