Glamorous Garbage (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781620916261)

Bobbie's room is full of stuff--SO full, that it's hard for her and her "best cousin," Joanie, to find space to play. When Bobbie's mom gives her a two-week deadline to clear out the clutter, Bobbie has an idea-instead of taking stuff out of her room, she brings garage-sale finds and other glamorous garbage in. Will Bobbie transform the chaos into a beautiful big-kid room? This title weaves together three appealing themes: letting go of toys and dealing with a messy room, turning trash into treasure, and recycling and repurposing--a part of every school curriculum from kindergarten up.
