Messy Bessey


McKissack, P. & McKissack F. (1999). Messy Bessey. Illus. Dana Regan. New York, NY: Children’s Press.

Brief Annotation: This rhyming easy-reader follows Messy Bessey as she cleans her dirty room. This is the first book in the Messy Bessey series.

Genre: Picturebook, easy reader

Grade Level: K-2

Readers who will like this: children who like rhyming stories, students who can relate to having messy rooms, beginning readers.

Response/Rating (1-4): ** I did not find the text or illustrations to be particularly captivating in this book. However, I think that Messy Bessey might be a relatable character to many beginning readers, potentially providing the needed motivation for children to become independent readers.
