Cute little story about a watch getting lost in the trash, and going garbage dump diving to find the watch.

Henry seems to really like this. I like it as well because I can explain/expand more on the pictures.

A NEW Scarry book! RIchard Scarry died in 1994 but his son, Huck Scarry, continues the legacy. This is an easy-reader style.
Huckle (now the name of one of Scarry's main characters has new meaning) the cat and Lowly go searching for Huckle's missing watch which went into the garbage can, into the trash truck, on the barge and to the dump. Stinky.

Richard Scarry's characters are always so helpful and friendly to each other you can't help but fall in love with them. In this one one looses his watch in the garbage; he and two friends go in search of it following it throughout the city. Only to find the trash bag at it's final place and they have to sort through everyone's garbage to find his watch.

This is a Level 2 book that said it has slightly more difficult words in simple sentences to help new readers.

"Huckle put on his watch.
'What time is it?' asked Lowly.
'Time to take out the garbage,' said Mrs Cat.
Huckle's watch went BEEP! BEEP!"
