The Making of HERE COMES THE GARBAGE BARGE

Amazing sculptural and 3-D art built out of junk, toys, and found objects by Red Nose Studio bring a book about a little town with a LOT of garbage to life. Based on incredible true events, Jonah Winter brings us the flavorful story - with humor and a message of environmental awareness - that starts in a little town on Long Island that has a big problem: 3,168 tons of garbage and nowhere to put it! Enter the garbage barge, who hauls the junk down the coast of North America looking for a place to dump it. . . . Here is the fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of these incredible illustrations. http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375952180
