This author wrote an excellent story about children learning responsibility.... Between the developmental ages of 6-8 children should start to pick up after themselves and learning to clean their room..As parents by the end of our busy days we are exhausted..Tommy comes home from school and his room is such a mess with toys he can hardly get his bedroom door open..Mom asks Tommy to clean his room as he blames the mess on friends...She tells Tommy the next time have you friends help you clean before they leave and stop giving her excuses..Tommy goes into the messy pile of toys to look for Rocky his spider monkey..Grabs him by the tail and knocks to the floor..Tommy wakes up in a strange land with toys scattered all around him...Rocky is sitting in a tree reading a newspaper...This is where little boys and girls wake-up in the the Lost Toy's Land....Now all the toys and Tommy are trying to get home...But Rocky the monkey won't tell them until he gets caught....Will Tommy and the lost toys every find their way back to Tommy's room as it gets late and starts missing his Mom...The illustrations are always cute, bright and colorful...The author also teaches you what a Spider Monkey is and why they are so fast....My niece was giggling over everybody chasing Rocky as he is swinging from the trees...."We are not defined by our skills, but by what we do with them"..
