Garbage

Alfred Publishing, 1998

Garbage reaches their peak with this hybrid rock masterpiece
NOTES: Garbage is my favorite band. 1=bad, 2=average, 3=good, 4=great Temptation Waits is the first "upgraded" showstopper in Garbage's arsenal, beamed in from outer space and distorted like a fuzzy satellite dish transmission at judiciously selected intervals. Throbbing, dancehall-tested metallic beats wrapped in a sparkling outer coating make it an infectious treat that's leagues beyond ...

Picture Window Books, 2007

learn about driving a garbage truck for preschoolers
Driving a garbage truck seems like a swell job the way it is presented in this fun book for youngsters. I'd say it's great for kids aged 2-5, and my 2 year old loves this book since he loves garbage trucks. The text is simple and the illustrations are simple too, although bright and show the story of this garbage truck driver in an easy to understand way.

Gordon Korman

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1995

One of the Greatest
This book is one of the greatest. Gordon Korman is, in my opinion, the best fiction author of the 20th and 21st centuries. I LOVE his books, and wish all the great old ones were back in print. I highly recommend his books to all the readers I meet. Thankfully, among my siblings and I, we have several of the old books, but I wish they were all more readily available, as we don't have some of our ...
