Summary: Not In My House!
Comment: To quote a line from the book: "Uh-oh!" is right. I frequently choose Early Readers such as What A Mess! (a STEP Into Reading book intended for Preschool to Grade 1) even though my girls (ages 3 ½ and 2) are not yet learning to read. The patterned text + playful kids + pets seemed ideal for my own little mess makers.

BUT...I thought two of the illustrations were irresponsible. "Dennis" is drawing pictures on the wall with his crayons. "Lee" is using Mama's lipstick to paint a clown face. I've got enough problems without giving my girls the impression that such behavior is acceptable.

That said, I am sure your emergent reader is old enough to know better and will enjoy solving the mystery of the muddy footprints - right down to the surprise ending!

Summary: Great for beginners!
Comment: I bought this book for my 5 year old, and he was able to read the entire thing himself the very first time - and he was so proud of himself! It contains many of the "sight words" they are teaching him in Kindergarten, and the other words are all easy to sound out. The story line itself very cute and 3 year old couldn't wait until his brother got to the end to see what happens!
