Behold: the exciting adventures of The Dumpster Diver. Steve and his friends turn other men's junk into their own treasure through creative, if slightly perilous, means. These kids are so hip and trendy, they probably don't even know it — their posse's actions are a great starting point for discussions with your children about recycling, art, invention, and doing good deeds.
Recommended by Jill S., Powell's City of Books

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

One person's trash is another persons's treasure in this vivid picture-book ode to creative recycling — and to loyal friends.

Anyone can dive for treasure in the ocean, but Steve dives for it in his neighborhood dumpster As he delves into the trash each weekend, Steve encourages his young neighbors (aka the Diving Team) to see the potential in what other people throw away. With a little bit of imagination, trash can be transformed into treasure — and as the Diving Team soon discovers, it might even help a friend in need.

Synopsis:

One person's trash is another person's treasure in this vivid picture-book ode to creative recycling and to loyal friends. Full color.
