Publisher's Synopsis
Harry Hale owns a vacant lot that he hasn't visited for years. -What good is an empty lot?- he thinks, and he makes up his mind to sell it. But when Harry visits his lot to decide on a price, he's surprised to find that it's far from empty. In fact, his little patch of land is bursting with life.
-A sweet and gentle plea for saving the earth.-
--Horn Book Guide
-A provocative story that gives a clear message of conservation and brings it into focus for young audiences. . . . Arnosky's watercolor illustrations bring a freshness to the 'deserted' lot and are constant reminders of all living creatures, large and small, that share this planet.-
--School Library Journal
