Clean Up, Up, Up!

The concept of this book is great, a dad helps his kid clean up his room, but the final execution is not working. The text and the illustrations don't match, which means that when they talk about putting the cubes down below the books, the dad and the kid are actually on the ground taking care of the train. Then, when they talk about bringing the teddy bears inside of the house, the teddy bears are already inside. The balls have been moved to the basket with no mention of it. In the end, the kid is supposed to help his parents set up the table by putting his spoon down, but there is no actual gesture of it in the illustration.

It is really unfortunate that the connection between text and illustrations was so unsuccessful, as it could have been a good book.. It is not usable for kids as it is.

Thank you NetGalley and Star Bright Books for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
