The Tin Forest

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Wayne Anderson. An old man uses hard work and the power of wishing to transform the garbage around him into a magnificent animal-filled forest. The book's themes seem muddled--the man's initial work converting trash and tin into an industrial forest is more impressive than his ability to wish a natural forest into being--but the story is a welcome paean to imagination nonetheless. Meticulously detailed illustrations achieve an Oz-like splendor.
