As someone else mentioned in another review, the lack of any kind of acknowledgement that throwing your discards into the lake is polluting is troubling. Yes, Mr. King (very suddenly) becomes a recycler, but what will he do with an item he can't recycle? Will he continue to throw them in the pond?

The story and illustrations aren't particularly special, but the message of reusing/recycling old things is good, so I gave it 3 stars.

Neo was sure the book would be all about cats and fishing.

I'm not sure what I like more about these books: the story or the illustrations. In this one, Me. King likes to get new stuff. When he gets new stuff he likes to throw the old stuff in the pond. Not only will the pond fight back, his friends will help him learn what to do with his old stuff.

This would be a great addition to a recycling/green/earth day storytime. Cute little story with fab illustrations
