What Can a Mess Make by Bee Johnson - ADVISABLE

What Can a Mess Make
by Bee Johnson
. PICTURE BOOK. Henry Holt & Company (Macmillan), 2024. $19. 9781250900241 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

APPEALS TO: SOME 

This is a sweet, rhyming story of two girls making mess after mess, with lovely results and consequences. The text is fairly simple so young ones can read along or predict rhyming words, and the illustrations are colorfully detailed and beautiful. With examples of art, music, inventing, cooking, crafting, creating, and general play, this would be a fun read aloud before settling in for some maker space fun in an elementary library or classroom, or before getting crafty at home with kiddos.
