Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679885463, Paperback)

At last, Colin Thompson's highly acclaimed tribute to the rejuvenating power

of nature is available in paperback! The Paper Bag Prince bicycles each

morning to the town dump where he watches

nature reclaim the polluted earth.

When the dump is closed for good, he decides to make it his home. "Wonderfully

detailed illustrations highlight this environmental tale. It effectively

portrays the tenacity of nature as well as the resilience of the human

spirit"--School Library Journal
