This is a very cute book to share with either older students or younger. This book is about an younger sister that is ALWAYS a mess. Olivia, which is the older sister, is telling the story. She tells how Sophie is a total disaster is all that she does. Sophie doesn't know how to clean up anything. When she tries, it turns out a bigger mess than before.

This book is about two sisters. Sophie is the messy one and Olivia is the neat freak. When Olivia opens the door to Sophie's room it is hard to find her because of all the stuff she has on the floor, in her drawers, and closet. Sophie is even messy at school. Whatever she trys to do she does it in a messy way. Sopie is never neat like her big siter Olivia. On halloween Sophie wanted to be a nurse because Olivia told her that a nurse was never messy. But she couldnt do it..she had to be messy. She is even messy when she made our mom a Mother's Day breakfast. Olivia tells us in that book that there are some good things about Olivia. She is nice, kind, and good at puzzles and dancing. But, Oliva is willing to bet her bracelet that Sophie will never be perfect like her.

This is a really cute book that smaller children would love. It is about a little girl named Sophie who is completely messy! She is always dirty, and she does whatever she pleases. She has no schedule and she cant keep anything clean. It would be a cute read for children when talking about doing chores, and why it is important to help around the clasroom and at home. Some children would be able to also relate to Sophie because they might be messy themselves!

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0689829418, Hardcover)

Olivia is very neat, and her brother Jake is "sort of, but not a HUGE slob," but their little sister Sophie is another matter altogether. Sophie's room is "seriously--I mean seriously--REVOLTING." Olivia simply can't get over Sophie's untidiness in every single situation--school, Halloween, even the bathtub is no sanctuary from the messy hand of Sophie. With her clothes and toys tossed higgledy-piggledy everywhere she goes, Sophie is her orderly sister's worst nightmare. However, her mother does want Olivia to mention that Sophie is also a "kind and very nice person," and their dad reminds Olivia that Sophie is smart and funny, and even their big brother Jake says that Sophie's great at puzzles and dancing. Olivia's only hope is that one of these days Sophie will "start to remember to stop forgetting to try NOT to be so super-completely and totally THE MESSIEST."

Judith Viorst, well-loved author of the classic Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, pulls out all the stops for her latest send-up of very real kids. Illustrator Robin Preiss-Glasser seems to have been inspired by Hilary Knight's illustrations of Eloise in her portrayal of the wildly exuberant Sophie and prim, exasperated Olivia. Sheer delight for neatniks and slobs alike. (Ages 5 to 9) --Emilie Coulter
