A biting allegory of our modern times. Mr Messy isn't conforming to society's norms, I bet he doesn't recycle either.
Cue the men in black (and white, to balance things up) Mr Tidy and Mr Neat to take control of Mr Messy and set him on the right path. However, even after they have sanitised his environment they know that he will not change his ways.
The bathing/waterboarding that Mr Messy undergoes finally breaks him, leaving him laughing along with hiscaptors rescuers.

Despite being a bedtime regular of ours the kids don't appear to have taken the message to heart and still prefer to live in abject squalor.
Good old "Mr. Messy". I always loved the squiggly drawing on the cover. Roger Hargreaves wrote some wonderful books and this is one of his best.
I can't remember if this one is my son's or his grandmothers.
Yes, I read all of these as a kid. I'll be here all day folks
ONe day Mr Messy went out walking and met Mr Neat and Mr Tidy.
Ha! Ha! Be clean and you will feel happy. Great lesson.
Read this to my son today he enjoyed it
He is messy.His house is dirty.He met 2 men.
If you have trouble with hygiene and cleanliness cal in Mr. Neat and Mr. Tidy to become an amorphous blob. Mr. Messy has his life and home neatened and tidied.
Probably my favorite in the Little Mr. series largely because I think he's the cutest. My guess is he was inspired by Charles Schulz's Pigpen.
