“Don’t Lend A Monster Your Favorite Toy” is another fun-to-read, wonderfully illustrated children’s book written by Elwyn Tate.  Narrated by a small, blue robot-like creature, this book gives a child permission not to lend favorite toys to “monsters”.  Every child knows at least one “monster” – another child who delights in destruction and mayhem.Colorful, but simple illustrations are integrated into the story and add to the book’s overall appeal.  The text is simple, but conveys the story and eventual lesson – you don’t have to share with a “monster, but it’s nice to share with a friend - without becoming pedantic or preachy.Elwyn Tate is one author whose books I watch for – his stories are appealing and fun.  Children can easily relate to the situations and experiences his characters encounter.  Parents and grandparents will enjoy reading these books to little ones as much as those youngsters enjoy hearing the stories.  I definitely recommend “Don’t Lend A Monster Your Favorite Toy”.
