Bangalee

A wonderful tale about Bangalee, the cleanest Kritter in a "very confused land", who becomes a hero with his clean ways when Grunk, a "monstrous-garbage eating beast", comes foraging at their door. The moral to the story being: "So, If your room is messy and cluttered with lots of junk, Better clean up your room like Bangalee, 'Cause here comes the Grunk!" The Serendipity books are favorites of me, my sisters and our children. Simple, compelling and beautifully drawn with bright colors.

The summary on this one is a bit off since the creatures don't seem to know what a grunk is until one shows up on their doorstep to eat away the trash left from the litter-bugging Kritters. The story was cute and entertaining while a fun way of getting one to be clean.

The Kritters went from one extreme to the other so I don't know how long they stayed a spotless cleaning creature but that is for the minds of the readers to ponder.
