Told in straightforward language with a simple ending rhyme scheme, this book illustrates how children can clean up their toys, books, etc. I appreciate how the book couches the sometimes tedious task of cleaning up in the language of toddlers' growing independence (i.e., "Max can clean up by himself."). In addition, the bright and interesting illustrations make cleaning up seem like a fun thing to do. For children who like Max and Ruby, it's an added plus to have their favorite characters illustrate the chore. But even kids who don't know the show can benefit from the book and will likely enjoy seeing the delightful bunnies working together to pick up their mess. ( )
