"The spare, rhyming text is illustrated with digital cartoon graphics that pop boldly in full panels and in cameos surrounded by generous white space. It's a good lesson in recycling and cleanup, as well as just plain fun." -- Booklist

" ... the jaunty, rollicking rhymes will keep children entertained, and they will merrily chime in with the refrain: 'Hooray, it's GARBAGE DAY!' Some number- and color-recognition cues are incorporated via text and art. Illustrations are colorful, cheery, and lively; children and sanitation workers are diverse in gender and racial presentation. A brown-skinned child wears glasses; a White-presenting kid is shown in a wheelchair. Onomatopoeic words in display type appear throughout, emphasizing the rumbling, crashing sounds the garbage truck makes. Useful for community-helpers units and fun for vehicle mavens." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Author Eric Ode is fully aware of kiddos' love of garbage trucks, and he's captured their sentiment in this celebratory book. The text is full of rhyme and onomatopoeia, making it a truly fun read-aloud... This is an absolute must for any little one who looks forward to garbage collection day!" -- Little Cub Literacy
