Description
Katherine's backyard is mistaken for a garbage dump, and she tries to clean it up.
Quick Summary
Katherine's backyard becomes the neighborhood's unofficial dumping ground when strangers mistake her tidy yard for a trash heap, and she must convince everyone to stop the garbage invasion. Kids will laugh at the silly misunderstanding and root for Katherine as she hatches creative plans to reclaim her yard and teach the town a lesson about responsibility. If your kid likes the problem-solving humor of "Mercy Watson" or the spunky kid heroes in "Junie B. Jones," they'll totally relate to Katherine's determined cleanup mission. Ideal for kindergarten through third graders reading at an early third grade level who enjoy short, funny stories with a clever kid hero.
