This is the story of the I. O. Lots family as they meet the Debt Monster and learn how to make him disappear! The message of The Debt Monster tells us to avoid the materialistic culture that surrounds us. Our "me-me-me" centered society emphasizes the concept that buying and showering a child with lots of things (no matter the price or debt-related cost) is the best way to give a child what (s)he wants to achieve happiness. In truth, what a child wants will not supply what the child really needs; (s)he needs you, your time, and your undivided attention. This story will help you teach children the difference between wants and needs, the importance of being patient in waiting until they can afford certain things, and the value of being content and thankful for what all of us have already...each other! It is written in a fun, rhyming style; at the end of the story, there are thought provoking discussion ideas to promote the educational aspect of the book. Also contained in the book are a list of Dolch Sight Words and a glossary to promote teachable moments.
