How I miss them. Link to the video Read by Barack and Michelle Obama. Link to the video Nov 04, Liza Fireman rated it liked it Shelves: shelf This was a sweet sweet book about words, and about Jerome who collects words. Words are little gems, and collects and organizes them. And then he fell and all of his words went flying. He starts stringing them together and playing with them with less order. In the end he sends them to the wind.

And other kids are starting to play with them. It is so much better than any other elementary school age and above. It is play This was a sweet sweet book about words, and about Jerome who collects words. It is playing with words, numbers, concepts and more. This book was a tiny reminder of that just tiny though. The story here, is not as tied together, and just touches a bit about the beauty and power of words. My favorite line was: “Jerome had no words to describe how happy that made him”.

That alone gives another half a star to get to 3. Nov 08, Dave Schaafsma rated it really liked it Shelves: picturebooks.

A book about the love of words. Okay, maybe good, fun, but doesn’t feel that fresh or original. Feb 19, Amy Oberts rated it liked it Shelves: rails-print-media.

The premise of Reynolds’ most recent picture book is intriguing Unfortunately, the second half of the story doesn’t quite match the authenticity of its beginning; the parting message is a familiar chorus rampant throughout most of Reynold’s tales.

The illustrations are whimsical and inviting, inclusive and diverse Nov 06, Scottsdale Public Library added it Shelves: picture-books , childrens , fiction. I really like using this book as an example of expansive vocabulary when I am doing storytime. I’ve taken it to my children’s school and a read-aloud and then added in some vocabulary activities like vocab guessing games using the words from the book , or re naming a color, or found word poems.

The instructional options for this book are truly limitless. Mar 01, Rita Shaffer rated it it was amazing. The power of words! Cute story to show the importance words hold. Mar 14, Barbara rated it really liked it Shelves: humor , hobbies , picture-book , writing , friendship , community , word-lovers , reading , literacy.

In this picture book, Peter H. Reynolds does for words and literacy exactly what he’s accomplished with his previous titles on art, he makes them cool and wraps them in a clever, philosophical package. Jerome collects words, and he even organizes them into categories. But an accident leads to the realization that sometimes words that seem to have no relationship to each other actually gain new meaning when placed by different, unrelated words.

Not only does he start to realize the power of words In this picture book, Peter H. Not only does he start to realize the power of words to express feelings, to move an audience or to make others feel understood, but he also realizes that he need not keep those words squirreled away. Instead, he should give them away. I loved how, after all this build up, the book concludes with these lines from the boy who loved words so much: “Jerome had no words to describe how happy that made him” unpaged.

Since he’s shared all his words with others, he literally has no more words to give, but he also would be hard pressed to explain his feelings. This book is perfect for youngsters just learning new vocabulary but also for those who gravitate to words that simply sing on the tongue or feel in the mouth or are interesting just because of their shapes.

As they will know, there are words that simply lead us into new worlds and those that seem perfect for what they represent. Dec 26, KC rated it it was amazing Shelves: words , picture-book , pre-school , childrens , diversity , concepts. The importance and beauty of words and how putting some together can be powerful and poetic! Nov 19, Katt Hansen rated it it was amazing Shelves: kids-picture-book , favorites , poetry. I’m calling this book poetry because it speaks to my soul in that way.

The main story is about a boy who collects words. It’s how the words are kept, expressed, and strung together that matter. I was enraptured by reading the words scattered on the page, and I Loved how the pairings sang. I want to collect words too, and see what happens when you throw them down together in a happy jumble. We won’t worry too much about how much littering occurred with all those words in the wind.

I wish everyone loved words like this. Dec 02, Nadine Jones rated it did not like it Shelves: children-s. Really disappointing. I read this aloud to my 15 year old daughter and partway through I started adding snarky asides about how this kid is really annoying and LITTERING – stop throwing your little bits of paper all over, Jerome!

Stop it! Also, poetry and music is more than just random words strung together; I thought it was weird to imply that you will naturally become a beloved poet and musician just because you collect words. Jun 28, Deb Readerbuzz Nance rated it it was amazing Shelves: word-play , poetry , creativity. Jerome collects words. Serendipitously he drops his words. He makes poetry. Mar 24, Pam rated it it was ok Shelves: children-picture. I can’t really recommend this book to anyone because of the ending.

Dec 30, Baby Bookworm rated it it was amazing Shelves: our-reviews. This review was originally written for The Baby Bookworm. Visit us for new picture books reviews daily! Hello, friends! Reynolds, a love letter to the power and passion of words. Jerome, like many kids his age, loves to collect.

But while others may collect comic books or stamps, Jerome collects words. Jerome collects them all into scrapbooks, which grow more categorized and extensive as his collection grows. One day, while moving the scrapbooks, he stumbles and drops them, scattering the words about in disarray. But looking at how the words have landed — out of order and in fascinating new combinations — Jerome is inspired. He begins stringing the words together in new ways to express himself, write poems and songs, or to provide comfort and support to his friends.

At last, he decides to share his collection with others, releasing the words into the wind as children gather them to start their own collections — something that makes Jerome indescribably happy. Even for those not word-obsessed, this is a great way of exploring the power that words have in both great and humble ways — how less is often more, how innovation drives language, and ultimately how a wider vocabulary can benefit its owner and user.

The illustrations are delightful, using small vignettes and full page spreads to convey moments and concepts both big and small. Another review did point out that the story serves almost exclusively the English language — not necessarily a detraction, but something to note.

Be sure to check out The Baby Bookworm for more reviews! Nov 25, Kristi Bernard rated it it was amazing. Words are a wonderful thing. But, can words be collected like stamps, coins or even art? Of course, they can according to Jerome. Jerome was a word collector and he loved it. He liked the word Willow from a poster at a tea shoppe. He wrote down Emerald after reading The Wizard of Oz.

He thought Words are a wonderful thing. He thought that multi-syllable words like guacamole, geometry and kaleidoscope sounded like songs. One day he slipped and fell, and his words became a little mixed up and he noticed he could put them together to make wonderful combinations. Jerome realized that words were powerful. With so many bags filled with all of his favorite words, Jerome released them into the wind. What do you think happened after that? Best selling author Peter H.

Reynolds has created a quick and easy read filled with wonderful words beginner readers will love learning. Colorful illustrations depict his favorite words and the power that they hold. Young readers will have fun pronouncing and seeing what each word represents. Parents, teachers and caregivers can discuss what words children like the most.

If you like word games, this is one of the best. The fact that the words are alphabetized is key At one point I criticized the starred word bonuses, because I thought they were impossible to get and they were words no one had ever heard of besides having to use a lot of hints on. Very fun game, well designed not too easy not too hard, and bonuses and perks are offered from time to time to keep you motivated and interested.

Good job, developers! I have been playing this game for quite a while. This is my favorite word game ever. I play every day several times a day and while I watch tv at night. I was updating another game and saw the update for Word Collect and thought why not.

I am a person who loves words. I love those word-a-day calendars as a kid. I thought it was fun to try and find ways to use that word during the day.

He has scrapbooks and notebooks full of words organized into category and subject. One day, he drops all th I am a person who loves words. One day, he drops all the books and the words jumble and he sees new phrases together.

The nephew was not too impressed by this book. Now, the niece would have liked it more is my guess. The nephew does love books, but he said that nothing really happened here. Words are everywhere. Aug 07, Dario rated it it was amazing. Words tend to either erect or obliterate boundaries between human beings. Thankfully, this is a book about forming bonds in the most unusual way.

Whereas most of Jerome’s peers collect video games, cards, devices, etc. The acts of reading and searching for meaning become essential for his growth and well-being because he wants them to be like that. He found joy in what others usually perceive as being frivolous, and it genuin Words tend to either erect or obliterate boundaries between human beings.

He found joy in what others usually perceive as being frivolous, and it genuinely makes him happy. Perhaps the key moment of his journey is when he slips and the words “become jumbled”. He doesn’t cry over them, nor does he give up; he simply strings them together and uses them to recreate the sources which he drew the words from in the first place, as well as create something new out of them.

He also finds the simplest words to be incredibly effective in uniting people. The book itself gains the reader’s attention using simplistic illustrations, colorful pages Lots and lots of words. You never know which one will help you make it through the day. A definite must-read!

I love that he started stringing words together and making poetry and songs.

Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to read. BUT with it being a middle grade novel it has little to no character structure, little to no detail, and is such a simple and easy read that it could easily be finished in no time at all.

It’s also quite predictable. For a young reader or a very frightened reader I could see this book being a really scary read. With that being said though I still really enjoyed it. That could just be because it has a certain character that has a certain ability that I absolutely LOVE in books But you’d have to read it yourself to find out what that is! View all 8 comments.

The Collector is one of the more creative middle-grade horror books, with a fair amount of dolls. I loved that the author didn’t hold back and delivered a truly spine-chilling tale involving all the things from our nightmares. It was a bit rushed in places, but the mystery definitely made up for it. This is one book that horror enthusiasts shouldn’t miss!

I don’t think I read all of them, but I probably came impressively close. This reminds me of those. And yes, this one’s definitely meant for middlegrade audiences and not YA, but if you made Josie a little older and had the book be a little longer, it would’ve fit right in.

This is a great quick chilling tale for middle school kids. There is nothing gory, no bad language, and no violence. It does have some scene that may be a bit freaky for younger kids. Everything fit together quite well and made a great story. Oct 30, LG A Library Girl’s Familiar Diversions rated it liked it Shelves: format-print , 3-star , middle-grade , horror , acquired-library , read Although Josie loves her grandmother, she isn’t thrilled about moving in with her.

She misses Chicago and, since her grandmother doesn’t have internet, she can’t contact her old friends. However, Josie’s mom recently lost her job, and Josie’s grandmother has been displaying worrying signs of Alzheimer’s, so Josie’s mom decides that this move is for the best. Josie’s grandmother has several odd rules. First, Josie and her sister Anna are not allowed to leave any windows open after dark.

Second, Although Josie loves her grandmother, she isn’t thrilled about moving in with her. Second, no dolls are allowed in the house. And third, Josie and Anna are not allowed to enter the woods behind Josie’s grandmother’s house. Josie’s grandmother also keeps talking about someone named Beryl – Beryl is hungry, and wants to take Josie and her sister away.

Part of Josie wants to dismiss this as signs of her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s, but part of her worries that there might be some truth to it, especially after she and Anna have nightmares about a doll and a creepy house in the woods. But then Josie makes her first friend at school, a girl named Vanessa. Vanessa is kind, cool, and a vegetarian just like Josie. She lives alone with her aunt. Who collects porcelain dolls.

And whose house just happens to be located in the woods, and look just like the one in Josie and Anna’s nightmares. But surely it’s just a coincidence.

My eldest niece is now old enough to start recommending books, and this is the first book she recommended to me. I later learned that she probably recommended it because she was in the process of reading it and loving it – my sister told me that she ended up disliking and feeling dissatisfied with the ending.

Still, my bookish self was happy to get the recommendation. Here’s hoping for more in the future. Alexander tapped into quite a few real-life fears in this book: moving to a new place, trying to make new friends when everyone else already seems to have formed their own cliques, worrying about elderly relatives, and just generally feeling out of place and cut off.

Josie can’t contact her friends back in Chicago because of her lack of internet, and she seems to be the only vegetarian at a school with horrible lunches that always feature meat in the main course. The creepy dolls, strange dreams, and weird sounds were icing on the cake.

To my adult self, this book wasn’t particularly scary. Still, Josie’s first visit to Vanessa’s house was pretty good. Josie immediately found the place creepy but tried to pretend that she was fine being there, because she didn’t want to lose Vanessa’s friendship and Vanessa’s explanation for why it looked the way it did seemed plausible her aunt was a big doll collector and was too injured to keep the house properly maintained.

Unfortunately, things got a bit too hokey for me when the story behind Beryl, the dolls, and the house in the woods was finally explained. I’m interested to hear which aspect of the ending my niece had problems with. I can think of two possibilities: the fate of one of the characters and the “you thought it was over but it isn’t really over” last page. Based on what my sister said, I’m guessing it was the latter that bugged her. All in all, this was mostly okay until the revelations at the end.

One, never leave your windows open after dark, even if it’s hot. Two, no dolls in the house. And three, never, ever go by the house in the woods. As always my reviews are based off of my true and honest opinion and I do my best to keep all reviews spoiler free. Sixth grader Josie and her little sister Annie along with there mom are leaving the city to move in with there grandmother in the country. A choice that Josie isn’t to happy about. Josie’s grandmother always made it clear to stay out of the woods and about the three important rules to never break.

Josie isn’t sure how she feels about these rules, but there are strange noises coming from the woods at night, and some of those noises sounds like someone calling her name. Soon Josie makes friends with fellow sixth grader Vanessa. She lives in the creepy old house by the woods, the one grandma warned her about. Complete with creepy old dolls. Between the rules, the house, the dolls, her dreams, and her friends suspicious behavior, Josie can feel that something is very wrong and she fears for her and her sister.

This book was really good even considering it was meant for much younger than me. I started reading it at night and it is a quick read. Most adults could finish it in an hour or two. Keeping in mind that I get spooked easily.

I recommend reading this in the day. I started it at night right before bed and I got seriously spooked, but thats what was so great about it. I found it to be fast paced and really entertaining. Great for a quick scare. It reminded me a bit of Goosebumps and I like Goosebumps. The only real problem I had with it was it wasn’t really an original story. Lots of creepy dolls and a spooky woods, complete with a old superstitious grandmother. However, even with the same old story it still held my attention and I truly enjoyed this book.

Josie always liked visiting her grandmother in the countryside.

But when her mother loses her job in the city and they’re forced to relocate along with Josie’s sister, Annie, she realizes she doesn’t like the country that much. Especially because Grandma Jeannie has some strange rules: Don’t bring any dolls into the house. And never, ever go near the house in the woods beh Josie always liked visiting her grandmother in the countryside. And never, ever go near the house in the woods behind their yard.

Soon though, Josie manages to make friends with the most popular girl in the sixth grade, Vanessa. When Vanessa eventually invites Josie back to her house to hang out, Josie doesn’t question it. Not even when Vanessa takes her into the woods, and down an old dirt road, toward the very house Grandma Jeannie had warned her about.

As Josie gets caught up in her illicit friendship with Vanessa, Annie is caught in the crossfire. What follows is a chilling tale of dark magic, friendship, and some verrrrrry creepy dolls.

But when her little family was forced to move in, her life changed forever. Her grandma has some very strange rules. Never leave your windows open after dark.

No dolls in the house. Never, ever go by the house in the woods. For a middle grade novel it was quite creepy and eerie. Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to re This book deserves a strong 3. Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to read. BUT with it being a middle grade novel it has little to no character structure, little to no detail, and is such a simple and easy read that it could easily be finished in no time at all.

It’s also quite predictable. For a young reader or a very frightened reader I could see this book being a really scary read. With that being said though I still really enjoyed it.

That could just be because it has a certain character that has a certain ability that I absolutely LOVE in books But you’d have to read it yourself to find out what that is! View all 8 comments. Sep 27, McCaid Paul rated it really liked it Shelves: horror. The Collector is one of the more creative middle-grade horror books, with a fair amount of dolls. I loved that the author didn’t hold back and delivered a truly spine-chilling tale involving all the things from our nightmares. It was a bit rushed in places, but the mystery definitely made up for it.

This is one book that horror enthusiasts shouldn’t miss! Jan 13, Amber J rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Ages Lovers of scary stories and quick reads.

When I was in elementary school, Scholastic published a lot of horror novels that I absolutely loved.

I don’t think I read all of them, but I probably came impressively close.

Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books, and we have been doing this for years. Everyone rates each book and adds a comment and it may or may not affect my overall rating. This is book 8 of 20 of , and yet another example of my separation from my own family on some of these books. This is the first year this is happening, dunno why. In spite of my low, mean personal review, I upped the rating to reflect the family reading.

Tara: 5 stars. I love this! L Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books, and we have been doing this for years. Learning to express himself and make the world better. Harry 13 : 4 stars. I like how he helps the world by sharing his words and thoughts.

Hank 12 : 5 stars. Lyra 11 : 4 stars. I like how he collects words, then gives them away, then finds new ones. Jenn family friend : 4 stars. Jerome is my kind of boy. A book about the love of words. Okay, maybe good, fun, but doesn’t feel that fresh or original. Feb 19, Amy Oberts rated it liked it Shelves: rails-print-media. The premise of Reynolds’ most recent picture book is intriguing Unfortunately, the second half of the story doesn’t quite match the authenticity of its beginning; the parting message is a familiar chorus rampant throughout most of Reynold’s tales.

The illustrations are whimsical and inviting, inclusive and diverse Nov 06, Scottsdale Public Library added it Shelves: picture-books , childrens , fiction.

I really like using this book as an example of expansive vocabulary when I am doing storytime. I’ve taken it to my children’s school and a read-aloud and then added in some vocabulary activities like vocab guessing games using the words from the book , or re naming a color, or found word poems.

The instructional options for this book are truly limitless. Mar 01, Rita Shaffer rated it it was amazing. The power of words! Cute story to show the importance words hold. Mar 14, Barbara rated it really liked it Shelves: humor , hobbies , picture-book , writing , friendship , community , word-lovers , reading , literacy.

In this picture book, Peter H. Reynolds does for words and literacy exactly what he’s accomplished with his previous titles on art, he makes them cool and wraps them in a clever, philosophical package. Jerome collects words, and he even organizes them into categories.

But an accident leads to the realization that sometimes words that seem to have no relationship to each other actually gain new meaning when placed by different, unrelated words.

Not only does he start to realize the power of words In this picture book, Peter H. Not only does he start to realize the power of words to express feelings, to move an audience or to make others feel understood, but he also realizes that he need not keep those words squirreled away. Instead, he should give them away. I loved how, after all this build up, the book concludes with these lines from the boy who loved words so much: “Jerome had no words to describe how happy that made him” unpaged.

Since he’s shared all his words with others, he literally has no more words to give, but he also would be hard pressed to explain his feelings.

This book is perfect for youngsters just learning new vocabulary but also for those who gravitate to words that simply sing on the tongue or feel in the mouth or are interesting just because of their shapes.

As they will know, there are words that simply lead us into new worlds and those that seem perfect for what they represent. Dec 26, KC rated it it was amazing Shelves: words , picture-book , pre-school , childrens , diversity , concepts. The importance and beauty of words and how putting some together can be powerful and poetic!

Nov 19, Katt Hansen rated it it was amazing Shelves: kids-picture-book , favorites , poetry. I’m calling this book poetry because it speaks to my soul in that way. The main story is about a boy who collects words. It’s how the words are kept, expressed, and strung together that matter. I was enraptured by reading the words scattered on the page, and I Loved how the pairings sang.

I want to collect words too, and see what happens when you throw them down together in a happy jumble. We won’t worry too much about how much littering occurred with all those words in the wind. I wish everyone loved words like this. Dec 02, Nadine Jones rated it did not like it Shelves: children-s. Really disappointing. I read this aloud to my 15 year old daughter and partway through I started adding snarky asides about how this kid is really annoying and LITTERING – stop throwing your little bits of paper all over, Jerome!

Stop it! Also, poetry and music is more than just random words strung together; I thought it was weird to imply that you will naturally become a beloved poet and musician just because you collect words. Jun 28, Deb Readerbuzz Nance rated it it was amazing Shelves: word-play , poetry , creativity. Jerome collects words. Serendipitously he drops his words. He makes poetry. Mar 24, Pam rated it it was ok Shelves: children-picture. I can’t really recommend this book to anyone because of the ending.

While the beginning would rate a 4, the end was a huge mistake that I am sorry other readers have ignored. Really littering is okay to teach children? Really Peter H. Reynolds couldn’t think of an alternate ending? Apr 16, Julianne rated it it was amazing.

Makes me want to start my own word collection May 21, Evelyn rated it it was amazing. LOved it and all the lovely, beautiful, and interesting words.

A great book to share. May 15, Ann rated it it was amazing. Yes, words matter! Mar 10, Renee rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , picture-books. Loved every minute of this book. Dec 30, Baby Bookworm rated it it was amazing Shelves: our-reviews. This review was originally written for The Baby Bookworm. Visit us for new picture books reviews daily! Hello, friends! Reynolds, a love letter to the power and passion of words. Jerome, like many kids his age, loves to collect.

But while others may collect comic books or stamps, Jerome collects words.
