Summary: I love to clean up Trashy Town!
Comment: Okay....this book is for toddlers, but I have been reading it to my 4-month old infant for weeks now. He LOVES it. I think it is the simple illustrations and the sing-song quality that really catch his attention. I often say "Dump it in, smash it down, drive around the Trashy Town!" even when we aren't reading the book and he smiles every time. I will look for more books by this author and illustrator, and I would recommend Mr. Gilly and Trashy Town to children (and even infants) of all ages.

Summary: An instant favorite
Comment: About the best thing to be said about any children's book is that your children ask for it to be read over and over again.

From the moment I brought "Trashy Town" home, my three year old son could not get enough of it. The repetitive, but clever text by Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha begs for the kids to interact with trash collector Mr. Gilly as he cheerfully makes his appointed rounds about the trashy town. And for parents, this book lets you run with the sing-song quality of the text and make this a fun read.

But the story would be only a story without the minimalist illustrations of Dan Yaccarino (of TV's "Oswald" the Octopus fame on Nick Jr.) Yaccarino captures the dirty work with his signature painting style, giving "Trashy Town" a bold graphic look that youngsters love.

An absolutely perfect book for the under five crowd.

Rating: 5
Summary: pick it up, smash it down
Comment: From the catchy refrain to the charming artwork by Dan Yaccarino, this book is a delight. Mr. Gilly goes through town picking up trash everywhere, and at the end of the story, he's the last thing that needs cleaning. My 2 1/2 year old loved this book immediately, requesting rereads 20 times. That is a great sales pitch and one worthy of noting. This book will catch your young one's attention immediately--it's that good.
