The Dump Man's Treasures

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Beth Owens. The "dump man" of Shiretown, Maine, creates a library and repairs and delivers books to the disenfranchised. When he doesn't show up for work, it's kids to the rescue. The local-flavor writing is forced, but the dump man's enthusiasm for books is infectious. Readers will get a kick out of recognizing the covers of classic kids' titles in the book-strewn panoramas.
