Praise for Mikey Makes a Mess

Mikey Makes a Mess provides important education, both for young children and their parents, in a fun, engaging story book in both English and Spanish.

Mikey is a little boy who likes to leave his things exactly where he wants them—which means, in the middle of the floor. His parents aren’t too pleased. But then Mikey’s daddy leaves out something he shouldn’t – a packet of matches. Both of them learn there are some things that shouldn’t be left lying around.

In addition to the lesson that matches and lighters are adult tools only, the story is a gentle reminder that picking up clutter and keeping pathways clear is a good safety technique for all emergency preparedness. Illustrations reinforce the message that every home should have smoke alarms.

Includes questions for kids, and extra safety information for parents.

Praise for Mikey Makes a Mess:

“The illustrations are wonderful, and the little extras--smoke alarms on almost every page, the teddy bear in different spots, and the toys and other objects in the scenes--are excellent for vocabulary building.”

“We currently serve areas of Hispanic culture, and integrate bilingual read-alouds, but this book has both the English and Spanish print which facilitates this process.
