I've been looking and looking for this book! The quality is completely satisfactory! THANKS!

Harry Hoyle collected all sorts of things. If it could be kept in a room, he had it. In fact, he lived in a house with 72 rooms, each filled with a different collection. Harry had everything from string and rocks, to telephones and ice cream. Harry and his cat, Max, would go to a different room each day, but never to the room where the giant jumping bean was kept. The jumping bean was very dangerous and had to be locked in at all times. Then one day, Harry realized that the housed was full. He had no place to put his new collection of old doorknobs. Harry finally decides that the jumping bean must go, even if it means taking it out of the house himself. Will Harry's plan work?
This fun-filled story is easy to read and follow along with. The humorous personality of Harry and the exasperated attitude of his cat, Max, make the comical duo very likable. Although the idea of a giant jumping bean is a little silly, I think it is a great topic for a children's story.
