Just A Mess By Mercer Mayer

These books are classic. I love the Little Critter books. They just make me laugh. In this one Little Critter needs help finding his baseball mitt. He looks everywhere for it but just can't find it. His mom tells him to look in his room and hey while he's there he should probably clean it. I love the mom, she's not enabling at all. He asks for her help but she tells him, "You made the mess, so you can clean up the mess." He asks his family for help, his little sister tells him no and the baby didn't understand. So he does it himself. He shoves a few things in the closet, attempts to put his clothes in the closet and uses the shovel to pick up his games. When he's done his bed is lopsided because of all the things stuffed under it. He decides to wash the floor (with the hose!) but his mom says no so he vacuums instead. In the end he finds his mitt. I think these are classic books because everyone knows a little boy like Little Critter. I can recall doing some of the same things he did, like shoving things into the closet. His books always make me giggle.
