4.0 out of 5 stars Good - but don't expect a good lesson in how clean a room!, June 23, 2001
This review is from: Just a Mess (Little Critter) (Look-Look) (Paperback)
The critter has lost his baseball glove so his mother suggests he cleans his room to try and find it. He tries to get his family to help, but no one will. Cleaning up his room means shoving things into the closet and under the bed. He does decide to make the bed ("won't mom be happy", he thinks) and when he reaches over the bed to find the pillow, he finds his baseball glove. My children love this book, but as my five year old pointed out the other day, "he's not putting a few things in the closet like he said he was.... he can't even close the door he shoved so many things in there! That's not the way you're supposed to clean!" Although our family finds this book entertaining, I don't feel it teaches a lesson as well as some of the other books by this author... and it definitely doesn't teach them a good way to clean their room!

4.0 out of 5 stars You never grow out of this one, December 10, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Just a Mess (Little Critter) (Look-Look) (Paperback)
The boy in this book reminds me so much of myself. I always have a dirty room that my mom is constantly telling me to vaccume or pick up the clothes on the floor. Just like the boy in the book I lose stuff and end up finding it in my room somewhere, it's mostly clothes. I like the ending of the book it shows that you should clean your room. Maybe, no like him, though. He was stuffing things under the bed and in the closet. Lastly, this book has great pictures and I think everyone can relate to the boy in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Critter Gets It Together, August 24, 2005
This review is from: Just a Mess (Little Critter) (Look-Look) (Paperback)
Children love the story. Little Critter can't find his baseball mitt. Why? His bedroom is "just a mess." Little Critter cleans his bedroom and finds his mitt. I read this book in my kindergarten class. After the reading, it prompts talks not only of keeping the bedroom clean but other places as well.
