Little Miss Tidy

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of organization, either because they are naturally messy or because they have become so fixated on tidying that they actually lose track of their belongings. It is a perfect choice for teaching that while being organized is a virtue, flexibility and practicality are just as important. Little Miss Tidy is a character who loves to put things away, but she is so efficient that she forgets where she hides her own treasures. This classic Roger Hargreaves story uses humor and absurdity to explore themes of responsibility and self-identity. It is ideally suited for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to take ownership of their personal space. Parents will appreciate the lighthearted way it addresses the 'over-corrector' personality, showing that even the most well-intentioned habits can lead to a bit of a muddle if taken to the extreme.
