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!

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.

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.

Good and bad things are always happening to Little Critter. This keeps true to that vison of a young kid just going along with life. In this book, Little Critter must clean his room because he can't find his baseball mit. He cleans it as any young kid would and stuffs things in closet and under his bed. In the end he finds just what he was looking for. This book is perfect for beggining readers to learn from and laugh at.

My toddler loves this book! It's a great teaching tool to clean up after themselves.

this book is about a critter who lost his baseball mit and needs to find it. his mother sugest that he cleans his room and when he tryes to get his family to help him nobody will so he desides to clean it himself but the same as it is with any kid, any where they can shove things to make it look cleaner they will but when he looks for his pillow on the other side of the bed he finds his baesball mit.... mabey moms idea wasnt so bad after all

This book is about a critter that lost his baseball mit in his messy room and needs to find it. ... I would recommend this book to children ages 3-12, because they'll have fun finding out that they do almost the same thing sometimes.

This book teaches you that you should always keep your room clean and organized so you'll always know where everthing is. You should listen to your mom for tips too.

The words are few, but the point is...it is hard to find something in such a huge mess.

The problems I have are the fact that he didn't put his toys away properly. He just shoved them in the cloest or under the bed. The isn't picking up a mess.

You can never go wrong buying these books. They are fun books that teach a lesson. My children grew up with these books and now my grandchildren enjoy them.

I read these as a child now my daughter loves reading them. She is only learning to read but she has loved these books for over a year anyway. Her favorite part is finding the spider/mouse/grasshopper on each page.
