This is a fun story about cleaning out the clutter and donating or selling items you no longer want or need. We try to reinforce these ideas at home, but it's good to read about them too. Besides, it helps to talk up the ecological benefits of reusing and recycling items.
It's rare that a 'message' book doesn't annoy me, but this one was really fun. It was less about environmental consciousness and more about garage sales.
Not too preachy. Made the kid want to have a yard sale (but with my stuff.)

Recommended at the BYU Symposium.
Good book for what to do with your junk! Your junk is someone else's treasure.
Good book for using in April for Earth Day and other environmental units. Definitely shows how giving things away is a good idea for everyone. A bit preachy though; I don't see it as a great read aloud on the basis of language use.
