Clean Your Room, Harvey Moon!2 reviews
Pat Cummings

Aladdin, 1994

Just what our kindergardener needed!

+ Parents and kids both can relate!!

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 ...
