Learning to clean up with the best reward ever! Children have a challenge when it comes to cleaning their rooms and picking up after themselves. Parents have different ways of dealing with this, but I liked the way this was presented.
A young monster doesn't like to clean his room each day, but he loves to have bedtime stories read to him. Mom takes a long time to clean up for him, and reminds him, as he waits and watches her do the work. After a few nights of story time neglect, the young monster gets the message and cleans his own room. He is rewarded with not only story time, but his mom has time to sing to him, too. Jessica D.

An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children's (preschool/elementary age) room cleaning storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out-of-line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children's educational presentation (room responsibility), movie, animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.
