My Thoughts:
This was a short chapter type book for young readers. It is
suitable for children ready for chapter books, where the story is mainly told
through words, rather than pictures. This would generally be children ages
7-10.
The book begins with Tommy coming home from school. He is
disinterested in lunch and has no homework. All he wants to do is get into his
bedroom, but he can barely get his door open. His mom tells him he needs to
clean his room up. Rather than taking responsibility for the state of his own
belongings, he blames his friends for leaving his toys in a mess. Tommy’s
mother reminds him that it is up to him to get his friends to help him clean
his toys up when they are finished playing with them, and that he will need to
clean his room up before he can go out to play.
This book is a fun and imaginative way to learn about
organization and taking responsibility. Keeping one’s room tidy and organized
is hard not only for children, but is often hard for us adults too!
As Tommy, Rocky and their toy friends sort organize the Lost
Toys Land, they learn to organize things by grouping them together. They
cooperate with one another. There are many examples in this book of behaviours
that make living together as members of a family easier.
The pictures are clear and brightly coloured. I think they
are imaginative and appealing to children.
The other thing that I liked about the book was that
included with the purchase of the book was an audio version of the book, some
tips for parents on how to help your child get his/her room organized and keep
it that way, and a set of pictures for your child to colour. All in all, a nice
little bonus. And for those adults who have difficulty with organization – this
might be your opportunity to get organized right along with your child! :)
I gave this book a rating of 4 stars out of 5. I’d recommend
it for a fun way to help get started dealing with your child’s Lost Toys Land!
