| Abstract | "Teddy is the king of the dump! Teddy and his dad are going to the dump. At the rural waste management center, Teddy helps to sort the recyclables, using a garbage claw to rescue a missorted bottle, chasing scrap paper and watching (and hearing!) the compactor at work. "Got to make it as small as possible," Dad says as they watch forklifts and bulldozers moving garbage into piles that stretch as far as the eye can see, "because there's soooo much." Finally, it's time to visit the "As Is" store, where Teddy is sad to be leaving his beloved ride-on dog toy. Teddy is too big for the toy now, but will he be able to part with it? A fun, thoughtful story about big machinery, recycling and learning to let go of the things we no longer need."-- Provided by publisher. |
