The Collectors, by Alice Feagan, is about two adventurous girls trying to find the perfect treasure to add to their collection... but they keep running into problems, problems, problems!
They wander through the forest, dive deep into the ocean, and approach mysterious, dark caves, and each location seems to have an amazing artifact to bring home. But they are too big! Too heavy! Too deep! No matter what they do, their persistence seems to be challenged.
I love so many things about this book. The two curious little girls are inspirational female characters. The collage artwork by Feagan makes discovering the treasures along with Rosie and Winslow fun for kids. When we reached the page with a giant crystal, one of my kinder kids actually gasped out loud and said "Wow. A beautiful jewel." And my students really enjoyed trying to problem solve for the girls, but were thrilled with how things turned out for them in the end (I won't spoil that for you).
A fun book about failure, nature, curiosity, adventure, and persistence - would be a great one to pair with a nature scavenger hunt. I borrowed this book from the public library and my kinder kids are enjoying it a lot. Created by Alice Feagan, and published by Kids Can Press.
