A charming little monochrome picture book from my childhood, this book told the delightfully absurd story of a man who had an entire house full of strange collections. But when he bought the ultimate collection piece, a giant jumping bean, it began to jump around and destroy everything. Both my brother and I adored this story as children, and I hope to find it again someday.
