Reach for this book when your child is approaching a birthday or a playdate and is struggling with the 'mine' phase of development. It is the perfect tool for helping a little one understand that while new possessions are exciting, they are often secondary to the joy of shared experiences. In this story, Billy the monster learns the hard way that a room full of toys is lonely when you are the only one playing with them. Pat Hutchins uses a humorous, monster-themed setting to mirror the very real big emotions of a preschooler. As Billy transitions from a defensive host to an active participant in group games, children see a positive model for social interaction. It is a gentle, playful reminder for ages 3 to 6 that the best part of a party isn't the presents: it's the friends who come to play.
