Bookroo's summary

The town of Wartville is drowning in litter: bottles in the flowers, cans by the mailboxes, newspapers along the road. One tidy old man spends his days picking it all up, until nature grants him power over trash. He commands every piece to go back and stick to the person who threw it, and the careless townspeople soon find themselves covered in their own garbage. A funny picture book about littering and responsibility.
