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.

“A mischievous tale of taming the Mess Monster that lives in every one of us.” -Kathy MacMillan, author of The Runaway Shirt and the Little Hands Signing series

"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!” –Tracy C. Gold, writer and editor
