Winslow and Rosie are best friends. They are collectors - gathering things to display in their tree house museum. But, there's only room for 1 more thing. Rosie finds a giant gemstone, but it's too heavy, the dig up a t-rex skull but it's too big, they spot a rainbow but it's too far away. Everything is too (something). Back home at the tree house, they are disappointed that they didn't find the perfect thing, until they see something extraordinary and unexpected. 

I loved that the girls were doing everything so scientifically - the list of things they took on their search, the cataloging, and the hunt for the perfect thing. The illustrations are great - that T-rex buried under the ground is amazing and so fun. Such a great idea. This is one of those picture books that I'm sure will be read over and over, because you spot more things with each new read.
