Fixing means moving for the robug. ( )

Fix This Mess
“Fix This Mess” by Tedd Arnold is a beginning reader book that has a great story line with easy to read words for young readers. The language is descriptive, but is simple so that beginning readers feel a sense of accomplishment. For example, “Robug came in a box” and “I will fix this mess, said Robug”. Although the language is basic, the illustrations are very descriptive and capture and provide additional explanation to make the story even richer. When Robug says “I will fix this mess” the picture has a big dust cloud with the mess flying all around. Young readers will giggle at the illustrations and continue to see what happens next. The plot is organized and move clearly to the end when Robug has had enough cleaning up, and gives Jakes the broom and other cleaning supplies to clean up himself. Which brings me to the big idea of, don’t take advantage of people by being lazy and expect them to do all your chores. ( )
