(4) K-3 Translated by Joan Sandin. Illustrated by Emma Ǻkerman. Andy is fascinated by his "old guy" neighbor's amazing junk collection--fishing poles, soda bottle labels, even empty toilet paper rolls. Andy enrolls in "Jake's Junk Collector School" then struggles to find a unique collection to call his own. The translation can be awkward; some sentences are stilted and don't flow. Cheerfully cluttered illustrations aptly depict this quirky tale.
