5 Minutes for Books: Too Many Toys

December 1, 2008 by Jennifer Donovan

ShareTweetPinPocketMail

On the day before Amanda got out of school for Thanksgiving break, she had to decorate five feathers that would be stuck on her turkey. Each feather had to list one thing she was thankful for. She asked me, “Do you think it would be okay to say that I’m thankful that you have the 5 Minutes for Books site because we get a lot of really great books and stuff?”

It was funny, but she’s right. I too am thankful that my hobby of reading has turned into a bit of a job here and at the new site. I’d always be reading, but one of the perks is that we do get to look at so many books that we might not normally even know about.

So a few weeks ago, four-year-old Kyle was resisting naptime, so I was able to pull something fun out of my hat as an incentive,. “Oh — I have a cool new book we can read as a bedtime story,” I said as I brought Too Many Toys by David Shannon to his room. “Look, it’s called Too Many Toys.”

“Like I have too many toys,” he said (catching on quickly). “But I don’t want to give them away!”

As you might imagine, this book is about a young boy who had too many toys. His family tripped over them, he hoarded even the ones that were broken, and his mom finally decided that some of them had to go!

This book is illustrated in David Shannon’s typical bright and whimsical style. I think that kids are attracted to the larger-than-life characterizations of the children, parents, and even inanimate objects.

Kyle enjoyed it, chuckling in all the right places, and has even asked to hear it again. As for me — well, it’s inspired me to clear out some of those toys, and to even think twice about what I buy — for my kids and others — this holiday season.

Check it out and see if you don’t agree that there are Too Many Toys in your home as well.

I wouldn’t want to add to the problem, but books don’t count as toys, right? We all need books, so are giving away 3 copies. Leave a comment and I’ll announce the winners in December 8th’s book column. This contest is open to US shipping addresses. Due to legal restrictions, this promotion is not available in Arizona.

Please see our site’s Terms and Conditions of Use for a complete list of our Contest and Giveaway Rules.

I don’t have any winners to announce today, because the two contests from last week are still open. You can enter to win the new book by J.K. Rowling HERE and a Klutz activity book prize pack HERE.

  56. Priscilla says

    I could use a little encouragement to clear out some toys. We 6 children, ages 15 yrs to 11 mo….we keep toys around because someone will eventually want to play with it. My children are usually not too hard on their toys…so, we often do not have broken toys. It would be nice to donate some to a new home.

  57. Julia says

    December 4, 2008 at 7:52 am

    What a great title for a book – and such an important message! I’ve been feeling quite overwhelmed by all of our “stuff” lately and I think this book would be ideal for talking to my 2-year-old daughter about how “things” are not very important. People matter most.

    Sounds like a great read. Our girls love books as well. We have quite a few but I too do not consider books as toys. One always needs a good book.

    Thanks so much for sharing your review and a copy of the book!

    you can never have to many books but to many toys I think that make kids not have to use there imaginations

    sounds like a great book- when we have too many books we donate them to the daycare, the school and the library…the kids know if I step on or get flipped with a book I am going to say too many toys- time to clean…would love to read this

  150. Heather says

    December 1, 2008 at 2:41 am

    Oh, man, do we ever need this book!

  151. Heather says

    December 1, 2008 at 2:08 am

    We definitely have too many toys. I don’t think there is such a thing as too many books. My husband would disagree, but oh well!

  152. Natalie says

    December 1, 2008 at 2:02 am

    Gosh, do I ever feel like there are too many toys around here.

    We definitely have too many toys. Just tonight, a friend suggested that we wrap up toys our toddler already had and give them to him again for Christmas. He won’t notice. It’s all about the joy of unwrapping.

  156. Miss Charm says

    December 1, 2008 at 1:17 am
