Little Miss Neat

Reach for this book when you want to celebrate a child's natural desire for order or gently introduce the concept of tidying up through humor. Little Miss Neat lives in a perfectly organized home where everything has its place, but her world is turned upside down when Mr. Muddle comes to visit. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who are beginning to take pride in their personal belongings and physical space. Through bright illustrations and a simple narrative, the story explores the joy of a job well done while modeling the responsibility of maintaining one's environment. It provides a lighthearted way to discuss how our habits affect our surroundings and how we can find a balance between being tidy and being flexible when others visit.
