"Linda Glaser's young narrator accompanies us on a circular journey -- food to garbage to compost to garden to food -- explaining in a simple, lively style the magical process of decomposition. Readers learn about the amazing things which take place over time in the compost bin where layers of grass clippings, leaves, and kitchen scraps are tossed and turned." Excerpt of review from Nature's Course (November/December 1998) published by CCEL.
