Max's Words by Kate Banks- Pictures by Boris Kulikov

I stumbled upon Max's Words at our local library and I love it so much I wanted to tell you about it.  In this book, Max's brothers have impressive collections of coins and stamps, so Max wants to start a collection.  He decides to collect words and discovers that when he arranges his collection he doesn't just have a pile of stuff, he has a story! I love how Max uses his imagination and how the illustrations capture the crazy turns the story takes!
