1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin Farrell, crayons
2: Darren Forbes, teddy bear 5: Holly Lorenz, blocks
3: Mark McKenna, picture book 6: Janet Collins, fire engine
The first clue tells us that Kevin and the Baker child are on the top two shelves. Monica must be the Baker child, with a teddy bear directly below her and the McKenna child directly below that (5).
1/4: Monica Baker, Kevin
2/5: teddy bear
3/6: McKenna
Holly is not on the bottom (2), so she must occupy one of the two shelves in the middle row, while the Collins child is on the bottom right in cubby #6, and the picture book is in #3, which we now know belongs to the McKenna child (5). Thus, the teddy bear is in #2, and Monica Baker must be in #1.
By elimination, we know Kevin is in #4 and Holly is in #5.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin
2: teddy bear 5: Holly
3: McKenna, picture book 6: Collins
Darren is not on the bottom (3), so he must be next to Holly on shelf #2.Thus, his toy is the teddy bear, and Holly owns the blocks.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin
2: Darren, teddy bear 5: Holly, blocks
3: McKenna, picture book 6: Collins
The fire engine is on the bottom row, and since we already have the picture book on shelf #3, it is in spot number six, belonging to the Collins child.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin
2: Darren, teddy bear 5: Holly, blocks
3: McKenna, picture book 6: Collins, fire engine
The crayons are on an even-numbered shelf (3), but are not the teddy bear on shelf 2, or the fire engine on shelf 6, so they go to Kevin on shelf 4.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin, crayons
2: Darren, teddy bear 5: Holly, blocks
3: McKenna, picture book 6: Collins, fire engine
The Forbes child's toy, also on an even shelf other than the one holding the crayons (3), is not in six (Collins' fire engine is already there), so it must be number two, the teddy bear.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin, crayons
2: Darren Forbes, teddy bear 5: Holly, blocks
3: McKenna, picture book 6: Collins, fire engine
Only two shelves have not been assigned a first name, but since Mark cannot be in #6 (2), he is in shelf 3 and Janet must have the sixth shelf.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin, crayons
2: Darren Forbes, teddy bear 5: Holly, blocks
3: Mark McKenna, picture book 6: Janet Collins, fire engine
Also, only two shelves remain without surnames, and since Lorenz is not on either top shelf (1), she is on shelf 5, and Frances Farrell's own son must be Kevin.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin Farrell, crayons
2: Darren Forbes, teddy bear 5: Holly Lorenz, blocks
3: Mark McKenna, picture book 6: Janet Collins, fire engine
Finally, by elimination, Monica's toy is the puzzle.
1: Monica Baker 4: Kevin Farrell, crayons
2: Darren Forbes, teddy bear 5: Holly Lorenz, blocks
3: Mark McKenna, picture book 6: Janet Collins, fire engine
