Product description

Review

When a teacher asks his students to bring in something they collect, one girl is at a loss since she doesn’t collect anything. Checking with her family members and friends, she discovers that they all collect something: teapots, snow globes, baseball cards, trains, and clocks are a few of the highly prized items. The brightly colored, digitally created illustrations reveal the many types of collections people own. At least one full page is devoted to each collection and the child describes them in a variety of poetic forms from rhyming couplets to free verse. One example of her poetry is called “My Mother’s Button Box” and begins: “Shiny ones/of shell and glass./Pearly circles,/swirls of brass./Anchors snipped/from navy coats./Plastic hearts,/wooden boats.” Readers will be both surprised and pleased when they find out what the child has decided to collect. The author provides information on how to begin a collection, including a web address for clubs for collectors. VERDICT This title will inspire children to at least consider beginning a collection if they don’t already have one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, clever collection
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019

    This poetry collection is a treasure itself! The poems tell the story of a child hunting for something to collect. Family members and friends have their own collections that are as diverse as the poems themselves. (Check out the collection of license plates - so clever!) The child comes up with a collection in the end, with a witty twist. This book would make a great gift, combined with the start of a collection, for your favorite child.

    For the young reader, it will capture the imagination...because how do you decide which collection to share with others? Well written and illustrated! Very enjoyable! :)

    I loved this book. It offered so many starting off points for discussion. Any reader, even non-collectors, would be encouraged to consider what makes a collection. It can be material or nonmaterial.
