In "Too Many Toys" by David Shannon, a young boy named Spencer is overwhelmed by his enormous collection of toys. Despite the joy they bring him, his room is a chaotic mess, and Spencer struggles with the idea of letting any of them go. As his mother encourages him to declutter, he faces a funny yet relatable challenge: how to part with beloved possessions. The story humorously captures the essence of childhood attachment to toys and the importance of balance, ultimately leading to a meaningful resolution about sharing, giving, and embracing simplicity.
