Category: Picture Books
Max's brothers collected coins and stamps, but they wouldn't give any to Max. Max wanted a collection and decided to collect words. When his brothers rearranged their collections, they were still just collections. When Max rearranged his word collection, he had ideas, then sentences, and then stories which he shared with his brothers. Wonderful!

Miss Brooks Loves Books (And I Don't)
Barbara Bottner (2010), 32 pages
Illustrated by Michael Emberley
Audience: Preschool - 2nd Grade
This first-grader avoids books whenever possible. She doesn't understand her school librarian, who loves books so much that she dresses in costumes to read them. Then, to the girl's horror, she is asked to share a book she loves with her class for Book Week. She asks her mom if they can leave town, but her mom says, 'There's a librarian in every town.' Will she find a book she can tolerate? Could a book ever be gross enough for her to love?
