The story of Ryan who never tidies up, until one night the things he left out started to disappear. He stays up late to find out why and gets a surprise…

The first thing that struck me about this book was the artwork. It is absolutely gorgeous, with full colour illustrations on each page. To make it even more useful to early readers it has an in-built app to enlarge text by clicking on it to make it easy to read. This does give it one downside, since my Kindle could not download it and I had to view it on Kindle’s Cloud Reader.

The story is written in poetry throughout. There are a few strained rhymes and odd scansion, but nothing unusual for a children’s book and the vocabulary is basic and easy to read. There were no spelling errors or grammar issues, although it is in American English. The plot is simple, direct, and ideal for children, although I do suspect the final lesson is not one that parents want children to learn.

Overall this is a good children’s book, with lovely artwork and a strong storyline. It just loses a point because I couldn’t load it onto a Kindle.
