Brimfield, the collector's paradise Book

This is a cute story on perserverance. It would not be a good storytime read because the pictures are very busy. I had to keep turning back pages to see how and where Maurice had picked up another "rider." (Loved the turtle, of course!) All of the action can be great for a child who is reading the book on their own and has time to look at everything occurring on each page. There was only one thing that was a bit odd for me. I know it was the illustration style, using bits of paper and wrappings and bottle caps and such for more texture. However, it looked really odd to me and once in a while was distracting to me.
