THE MESS MONSTER
THE MESS MONSTER
When Lucy can’t find her green tutu or her cash register or…anything, really, she blames the Mess Monster for her messy room. But when Mom says she can’t play soccer anymore if she doesn’t find her cleats, it’s time for drastic action: cleaning up the mess to drive the Mess Monster away.
“AGHHHH! Where are my soccer cleats?!”
Lucy’s room is a BIG mess—so messy, it must be the Mess Monster’s doing! Her cleats, tutu, and even her toy cash register have disappeared into the chaos. With her trusty dog Max on the case, Lucy sets off on a wild hunt through piles of clothes, toys, and surprises to find what’s lost before tomorrow’s big game.
Because if she can’t find her cleats, Mom says she’s off the team for good.
But maybe the real monster isn’t so scary after all . . . maybe it’s just a little mess waiting to be tamed!
Filled with humor and heart, The Mess Monster shows that cleaning up can be fun—and you don’t have to do it all at once. At the back of the book, you’ll find tips for taming your very own Mess Monster, like turning cleanup into a game or cleaning up a little bit every day.
Will Lucy find her cleats in time? Can Max help catch the elusive Mess Monster? Open the book and join the messy, magical adventure!

The cookies are baked, the stockings are hung, and the tree is BARE! The Mess Monster is taking over Christmas and leaving scattered wrapping paper, ribbons, and outdated ornaments in his wake. Lucy longs for a picture-perfect Christmas out of a magazine, but Mom insists that memories can be messy. What do the holidays really mean anyway?
"A very cute book that is quite realistic about how mess can take over your life and become a total monster. I would say my kid needs to read this book but I need it too!"
