(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Doug Chayka. Yanni, a likable Greek boy who, in his father's absence, runs his family's trash collection business, wishes that his friends wouldn't call him "Yanni Rubbish." However, when he spruces up his donkey and rubbish cart, his friends stop teasing and ask for a ride. The illustrations, in thickly applied oil paints, feature earth tones, with an attractive sky blue for the refurbished cart.
