"This cleverly conceived and appealingly executed title addresses young readers directly, connecting their noticing and collecting habits to those of others who continued to observe, collect, and organize in adulthood. "                                                                                                                                                       Kirkus Starred Review


"It’s an altogether charming concept, convincingly demonstrating how childhood enthusiasms can be much more than passing fancies."                                                                                                                    Booklist Starred Review
