Synopsis

Mother cleaned high. Mother cleaned low. Mother cleaned the room for Joe.

Joe is delighted with his newly cleaned room. Now he can find all of the toys he wants to play with. But with so much space and so many great toys, which ones will he choose? His train? Or his planes? His racing cars? Or his rocket? As he pulls each from the closet and the toy box, his room grows messier and messier. So when Mother returns to his room, she discovers all of her hard work undone.
Readers will delight in Joe’s pure joy in rediscovering all of his favorite playthings, the brightly colored chaos that he leaves in his wake, and his earnest attempts to make it right and please his mother.

About this title

About the Author:

PEGGY PERRY ANDERSON is a former elementary school art teacher who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has written and illustrated six early readers about Joe the Frog. They include Let's Clean Up, Joe on the Go, To the Tub, Out to Lunch,  Time for Bed, the Babysitter Said, and I Can Help!.

From Booklist:

Ages 4-7. In Out to Lunch (1998), irrepressible little frog Joe is unable to sit still for lunch at a fancy restaurant, despite lessons in manners. He returns in this latest title to learn a few things about cleaning up. When Mother Frog tidies Joe's messy room, he's so delighted that he immediately starts to play in his clean new space, quickly creating another disaster zone. Mother cries when she sees her work undone, so Joe cleans his room himself . . . almost. Despite the end's heavy message, the simple, rhyming text will appeal to both story-hour groups and beginning readers. Little ones, and their harried parents, will easily spot themselves in the believable, anthropomorphic frogs tackling a common daily struggle, while the bright clean-lined drawings show Joe's world in realistic detail.
