My 2 year old little girl just can't get enough of this book about Mr. Gilly, the garbage man and his job collecting trash. It is written with a very sing song rhythm and contains a lot of repetition- elements that are very appealing to children in her age group. Sometimes we read the book and clap or tap along to the rythem like a song. Our little one likes it so much she has memorized most of the story and actually "reads" along with us. **If you like this book as much as we do you may also want to check out the Scholastic Story Time DVD Collection- an excellent series that features celebrities reading classic children's stories set to animation. This story is featured in the series and is set to music.**
My kids LOVE this book, they have it memorized!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
My son loves this book which is the reason I bought it. I like how most of the story is repetition of Mr. Gilly picking up the trash. And I love that Mr. Gilly takes a bath at the end of the story ~ anything to help keep my son clean! The pictures are great and colourful. Its just a good book, all around.
My son is Autistic and really enjoys trash trucks, and this book just made his day. It is a great book about Mr. Gilly the trash man and how he goes around cleaning up Trashy Town. "Dump it in, smash it down, drive around the trashy town." Would highly recommend.
