The Voice of Doom that Harvey Moon hears when he's settled down to watch Saturday morning cartoons is that of his mother, reminding him to clean his room. A humorous, rhyming text lists the ordinary and the extraordinary items poor Harvey has to find a place for while the colorful, angular illustrations amusingly depict the child's archetypal problem bedroom. (Ages 3-6)

Harvey's unwilling but Mom is firm: no more TV until he picks up! . . . He tackes a truly monumental mess (succinctly described in verse), stuffing most of it under his rug. Mom's not so easily fooled, but she does have a sense of humor. . . . An entertaining exaggeration of a familiar situation.--Kirkus Reviews. Full color.
