Review: COLLECTOR DISASTER
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 29, 2013
This short book written in verse relates the story of a young boy named Hector who has a major idiosyncrasy. He must collect everything he sees, including things like bent nails, chewing gum, a spotted dragon's egg, and a pirate's leg. Doctors tell his parents they need not worry; strangest part of his affliction is that when he tries to throw anything away he turns blue! Pretty soon there is no room left in the house. Will Hector ever overcome his problem? The story ends in a most unexpected way.Children will love the strange objects and quirky sense of humor, though at times the language seems forced. The illustrations are among the most creative that I have seen in a long while and are very well executed.
