This Is the House That Was Tidy & Neat

(2) K-3 Illustrated by R. W. Alley. In Sloat's cumulative verse, a proper Edwardian household ends up in bedlam when Mom goes downtown. A brother and sister head for the cookie jar; the crumbs attract a mouse; the cat chases the mouse, and so on. In the end, everyone, including Dad, pitches in to clean up. Alley's detailed illustrations convey the pandemonium without falling into chaos themselves.
