Description - The Empty Lot by Dale,H Fife

Kindergarten-Grade 3-- A provocative story that gives a clear message of conservation and brings it into focus for young audiences. Harry Hale has a piece of land that is sitting idle and thinks, "what good is an empty lot?" Up goes the 'For Sale' sign, and Harry immediately has three offers for it. However, before determining the selling price, he visits the land that was once part of his grandfather's farm and takes one last trample through the wild grasses and underbrush. He realizes that it is not empty at all, but rather a home for the thriving, wild creatures he sees and hears. He knows, too, that once the bulldozer clears it, the lot will no longer exist as a haven for them all. The satisfying ending will bring smiles and feelings of relief. Arnosky's watercolor illustrations executed in pastel tones bring a freshness to the "deserted" lot and are constant reminders of all living creatures, large and small, that share this planet. colour throughout
