Jessica D. Adams writes children's books about The Underground Toy Society that aim to teach children to love and appreciate what they have, think of others, and hopefully clean their rooms. Jessica's two daughters are the inspiration for the books, as well as co-illustrators for many of the books. Jessica also wrote short time travel chapter books, Meeting Grandmom and Back to Grandmom, which are great stories for kids as well as adults to remember or talk about lost loved ones and family history.
Jessica has visions of The Underground Toy Society traveling around the world, with many books being created to help teach children to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of those who may not have as much. While the goals of the books are to help kids want to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of others, there are no guarantees that kids will learn these lessons. These books are for entertainment purposes and individual results may vary.

The Underground Toy Society and the Annual Toy Drive Coloring and Activity Book tells the story of Murry Mole, who helps abandoned toys find new homes. One night in December, while digging his tunnels, he accidentally comes across a toy store where he meets Billy Bear, who explains to him what a toy store is and what a toy donation box is for. Murry Mole gets excited about helping his friends. However, the box is only for donating new toys. All is not lost, as between the new toys and The Underground Toy Society, they collaborate to help the used toys by using their creativity. Jessica D Adams teaches us about friendship, companionship, and helping without expecting anything in return through this coloring book with activities.
I loved the way Jessica D Adams develops a story with so many lessons. Teamwork is a lesson that every child should learn because it will be useful for life. Helping others is what helps us to stick together as a society. The Underground Toy Society and the Annual Toy Drive Coloring and Activity Book also talks about more everyday things, like valuing toys and putting them to good use. Another aspect I liked was that with it being a coloring book, children can interact in a more personal way with the story. And, at the end of the book, there are activities with questions to get children to think more about their toys and family traditions. This is a great book for learning and developing creativity.
