Stuff

Nip hoarding right in the bud with Margie Palatini's latest picture book.

Adorably cute Edward has a lot of stuff. Too much stuff. His stuff has stuff, and his friends are tired of it. A freak accident leaves Edward trapped in a room by his stuff where he has lots of time to play with it—and to learn he misses his friends. With their help, he is able to clear out all the excess stuff and start to enjoy life. Way to go Edward!

I love that there is a book about hoarding for kids. And I doubly love that Palatini is the author; she has such a wonderful way with blunt, straight-forward text that simply and thoroughly tells the story while entertaining the reader. Jones' colorful illustrations lend just enough humor to make this a totally fun read.
