Eden's Toys

In Eden's Toys, children's author D. M. Miller sends a timeless message that we should all learn to look after our things and those around us. In Eden's Toys, Eden has to learn this lesson. He doesn't care about his toys. He never plays with them or even picks them up. He steps on them or kicks them aside. He doesn't take care of his toys because he is bored with them and knows he can always get new toys. Then again, Eden's toys are unhappy. Whenever Eden steps on Boba Bear or kicks her across the room, Boba cries out, but Eden and his parents can't hear her. She's just a toy. One day, though, Eden goes too far, and Jeff Choo, the train set conductor, can't take it anymore. He assembles all of the toys. They realize they can speak up for each other, and they come together to plot their revenge on Eden. Soon after, Eden's parents decide to give his toys away, and Eden is forced to check his unpleasant behavior. In Eden's Toys, Miller reminds us to appreciate what we have and to crave no more than we need.
