Nina disagrees. She likes to recycle and save what she can from the trash. Besides, today is her day to water the plants, so she brings the bright can home and gets to work. But a tremendous surprise awaits her, because this is no ordinary watering can; in fact, it just might be magic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith echoes of \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e's enchanted potions, and the giant mess in \u003ci\u003eThe Cat in the Hat\u003c\/i\u003e that must be cleaned up before Mom gets home, \u003ci\u003eThe Watering Can\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightfully zany and colorful story that makes us reconsider the everyday objects all around us and consider new ways to reuse and recycle.
