review 1: I had to read this for work... I agree with a previous review that the author definitely has a desire to turn us all into hoarders!!! In personal terms: not something I related to or could relate to at all. In terms of teaching: right up my alley. Kids LOVE to collect things, even the craziest things you and I would consider trash. So, what better way to reach them than take that innate curiosity and turn it into something educational. While I liked some of the prompts for the classroom, I don't really think this book provided any fresh ideas, but rather old ones in a snazzy and hip package.
