Mr. King's Things

(4) PS Cat Mr. King throws his possessions into a pond as soon as they become "the tiniest bit old." But he changes his tune after he goes fishing and catches a "monster" (a jumble of his discarded stuff). The book's hard-sell environmental message is softened by the inventive art: Mr. King's castoffs become a "fish-carousel" (an old wheel and teacups), among other creations.
