Reader | 2 comments Hi - looking for the title of a little child who had a very messy room but wouldn’t clean it. Don’t remember a lot more but think she one day took a big box and put everything in it then cleaned the big box out. Very colorful with pictures that filled the pages and not sure if there were a lot of words. It felt like a large book but that was in the hands of a child. Everything seems bigger as a child.

Reader | 2 comments Yes that’s the book - the big tidy up! Thank you all - I had dismissed it from my own search because it showed a publishing date in the early 2000s but maybe it was republished. Kind of pricey tho but found a woman on YouTube who read it while turning the pages. Thanks again to all who answered.
