(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Graegin. A quiet introduction to collections, from baseball cards to those in libraries and museums. When dog Hector begins collecting acorns, his classmates laugh. But after a class discussion about collecting, the students realize how special and personal collections can be. Soft mixed-media illustrations show an urban world populated by friendly animals. A note from the curator and art-historian author discusses different types of collections.
Reviewer: Amy Seto Forrester
