How Messy is a cute picture book about a little girl and her friend, a duck. Dot likes things neat and tidy and Duck likes things messy. The story follows their day together as Duck creates more and more mess and Dot reminds duck "a place for everything, everything in it's place". It also reminds readers that there is a time for messy and a time for neatness and that we can find a balance because something making a mess is fun, but cleaning it up is important too!
The illustrations are beautiful and the background is plain white. The black font is fairly large and accessible, with short sentences, usually 1-2 per page. There are also some wordless pages where the illustrations continue to tell the story. There are also lots of expressive text features like onomatopoeias such as "slip", "smash" or "splash". This book would be great for shared reading with young children or independent reading for young readers who are ready to start trying short picture books on their own. I would recommend this book for children in the age 3-6 range. Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this sweet book!
