Susan Younan Attiyah (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2002

Georgey is so messy, he can never find anything he needs. And how can he if his things are always out of order? His clothes are hanging from the ceiling fan, his library books are under his bed, mud all over the walls, even the crayons are in the fishbowl! He is going to drive his mother crazy if he doesn't learn to pick up after himself.

When Georgey's first grade teacher announces that no one can attend the field trip to the zoo without his or her permission slip, Georgey becomes frantic. The harder he tries to find it, the bigger mess he makes. "Where can it be?" he asks. Do you think you can help Georgey find his permission slip? Read on while he learns a valuable lesson about taking better care of his things

As the mom of two messy kids, I loved this book's lesson. The kids enjoyed the colorful pictures and the way the book seemed to relate right to them. It was a fun story to read and one that made it a little easier to get them to clean their rooms! :-)

This review is from: I'll Never Find Anything in Here (Paperback)

All those who have children with messy rooms, raise their hands! This is the book for you.

"I'll Never Find Anything in Here" by Susan Younan Attiyah is an adorable story based on her experiences with her own two sons. It doesn't have a single preachy moment. We have an understanding mom, one with a sense of humor. We have two little boys, one who has something to learn about organization. And we have adorable illustrations. This new book is all that's needed to set up a quiet moment together with the children; it's also one that can be reread whenever they need a gentle reminder about the status of their bedrooms.

This review is from: I'll Never Find Anything in Here! (Paperback)

I am the mother of five and grandmother of five from ages 1 to 5. Even my four year old grandson understood about having a messy room and not being able to find what you're looking for. The illustrations are wonderful and very appropriate for the story. Ms. Attiyah did a superb job of presenting the object lesson in a way that is understandable even to younger children.
