With a glow-in-the-dark cover and zany art, this is a book about 'rubbish' that transforms and mutates into a grotesque, greedy monster devouring everything in its path, Frankenstink is sure to be a hit with kids who do not like to clean up. Is the monster who feeds on 'a mountainous salad of plastic and goo, fast-food leftovers and Styrofoam stew,' real, a dream, or a warning of what is to come if we don't compost and recycle? Complemented by playful illustrations in a comic-book style.
