A Perfect Mess

32 pp. | Dial | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-4156-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Rhinoceros Henry follows instructions to stay clean on school picture day, but he makes a huge mess of everyone else. The straightforward text and humorous illustrations in ink, pencil, and watercolor of Henry and his anthropomorphic classmates add up to an amusing story in which, reassuringly, everything ultimately turns out all right, messy or not.
