Smash! Mash! Crash! There Goes the Trash!

Smash! Mash! Crash! There Goes the Trash! By Barbara Odanaka, illustrated by Will Hillenbrand 2006

“Here comes the trash truck!” is a common cry heard in many households. In this story two young swine’s wake up to the loud belching of a garbage truck. Their canine friends run outside and follow the truck as it makes it’s stinky rounds. Kids will be delighted by the expressions on the trucks, and the slimy grossness that is devoured by each one. The two pigs continue to reenact the munching machines long after they growl away.

The text is energetic and combines perfectly with the vividly stained illustrations.

“Melon rinds, moldy bread, toss ‘em in and forge ahead!”

Appropriate for ages 3-8
