This story teaches children about the journey of words and collecting items. The children in the story are fascinated with collecting items they are interested in. The main character decides to collect words from magazines. His brothers go on a journey with him on how words are created and reordered. This book is for children who are 7 to 8 years old. The story has many interesting transitions in it.

This book I thought was wonderfully written! I love that it was written about Max, who is pretty young, and he collects words. This would get students this age interested in learning because they read about it.
