A very cute story with wonderful illustrations! Although while reading it to 2nd grade, we made sure to stress that they should NOT just jump into a dumpster that they find.

Three kids and one grown-up neighbor upcycle trash into treasure. Fun story with creativity, inventiveness and sweet friendships underpinning it.

The book is great, except...
-- it doesn't make dumpster diving look too appealing (both inside covers are covered in cockroaches and other delicious bugs)
-- the principle dumpster diver gets seriously hurt and chastised for dumpster diving. Although I would say that one should be careful when dumpster diving (I've gotten hurt myself, before), I don't think it teaches kids a good lesson.

If you read the book, you'll wonder if the author ever went dumpster diving. Still, it's cute and ya gotta admire the ethic!
