(3) PS Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino. "Dump it in, smash it down, drive around the Trashy Town! Is the trash truck full yet? NO." A trashman makes his rounds in this board-book edition of the picture book. Yaccarino's compositions, with their large blocks of bright color and simplified shapes, work well in this smaller format. The well-designed original's open look is better suited for group sharing, however.
