Teaches Organization and Sharing

This book may encourage your child to keep her room neat and clean. Initially, Messy Bessey's closet is so full that all of her toys fall on top of her when she opens the door. That's a scary thought for a little person, but Bessey cleans her closet and finds that it doesn't take very long. The only problem is that she doesn't know what to do with all the toys she doesn't use anymore. She solves this problem by donating her unwanted toys to the neighborhood children. The other children are very happy and proud of her, and Bessey is able to return to a beautiful and tranquil room that reflects her (beautiful and tranquil) spirit. This book has colorful, comic-strip like pictures, and its simple story rhymes. I recommend that you cuddle up with this book and your little one (ages 2-8).
