The Messy Monster
a children's book by Michelle Gilchrist Marcus
Teach your child the essential life skill of being ORGANIZED!
This cleverly rhymed book will empower your child to take personal responsibility for the things they use daily.
Read about WHY being organized is important and explore the consequential big feelings when you lose your favorite toy (or shoe) to the MESSY MONSTER.
Workbook pages INCLUDED!
Need help getting organized? A simple, 3-step plan with a worksheet, labels, and daily check chart is included to get your child started on the path to organizing SUCCESS!
Children can keep their belongings clean and tidy. But just like reading and writing, they need to be taught HOW!
