Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck

This story is written by Katie Clark and published by Down East Books, 2006.

Grandma Drove a Garbage Truck book jacket

For as long as anyone can remember, Grandma has run the town's garbage business. Her three sons drive the trucks. But what happens when her sons are too sick to work - and it's the 4th of July, the day of the Big Parade?

Leave it to Grandma to get the town clean. Enlisting the help of her young grandson, Billy, she embarks on a hilarious romp through town - and creates nearly as much mess as she cleans up. Yet Grandma and Billy succeed in picking up everyone's trash - just in time for the parade.
