This funny and whimsical picture book follows a young boy who has to clean his room before he can play with bright illustrations by Coretta Scott King Award winner Pat Cummings Harvey Moon's room is a mess. Clothes are everywhere, sticky comic books are shoved under his desk, and there's a cookie under his bed so old it's turned gray and fuzzy. What a disaster There won't be any cartoons until his room is absolutely spotless. But what happens when Harvey discovers his idea of clean is not the same as his mom's?
The books attraction for me was that it was one of the few books that featured the innocent exploits of a african-american boy and the resulting junk pile that inevitably results when he fails to clean up after he uses his things. Our young one was fascinated to see the similiarity between himself and Harvey. I used it to get him on a room clean up schedule. (The pictures and Harvey's story made my request seem somehow more legitimate!)
Parents and kids both can relate!!
