The Mushroom Center Disaster

"To you, perhaps, the remains of a picnic dropped somewhere in the woods doesn't mean much. But a mess is a mess, and to the people in Mushroom Center, this mess was a disaster." Such is the plight of The Mushroom Center Disaster when Beetle and his friends find a plan to turn bad fortune into progress. The important issues of littering and recycling, as well as cooperative community-building are illuminated by Bodecker and Blegvad's rare imagination, their glorious sense of both the absurd and the just, and firsthand knowledge of country living.
