I Like Things

Well, if you've been looking at Margaret Hillert primers, you're probably tired of hearing about me gush about how great her little books are. But they really are good. "I Like Things" is a fine example. It's a story about a little boy and 'collections'. It starts out which him playing with buttons. He sorts them by color and size and shape and finally makes a necklace out of them for his mother. He then looks over a collection of stamps with his dad, and finally a collection of trading cards with his friend. The principle theme is how making collections is fun, and as such --with the sorting and all -- this makes a great book with dual usability.
