This story starts out with a little girl who loves to collect things, EVERYTHING that is! She has so much stuff that her parents start to get irritated because they cannot move around throughout their house. This whole time though, Prudy does not think that she has any type of problem. Finally one day when bringing a gum wrapper home for her shiny things collection, she noticed that she could not get it into her room. Right when she did, BOOM, her room bursted and things flew everywhere. Finally after this she realized she had to do something. She researched and visited many places and finally realized that she should make a museum with all of her different collections. They built one and it was very popular. I thought that this was a good book because it showed that there are always solutions to problems, even if some of them may not be plausible. I really enjoyed the pictures throughout the book. She had a two pet mice and a dog and they were in just about every picture and doing funny things in each. Also, in many of the pictures, each of the different things like the door handle, had faces drawn on them to show their expression of what was going on.
I think that many children can connect to the story because they may either have collections of their own otherwise they may have problems that they have had to solve. I would definately consider having this book in my room for that reason. It would be best for first to third graders I think.
