Let's Clean Up!

(4) K-3 In his fourth book, Joe the frog learns that it isn't easy being clean. The moral ("Mom you're right. / It's true. / To really clean / UP it takes / two!") appears as a punch line tacked on to an everyday series of events (Mother picks up Joe's room, Joe messes it up, and then Joe straightens all by tossing his toys outside), and it makes for a weak joke. The illustrations show the brightly colored chaos of a toy-strewn room.
