Maisy pulls a Tom Sawyer and gets Charley to help clean her house until the kitchen floor is dry and the cupcakes are within reach (at which point the two of them polish off a whole platter of cupcakes). It's nice to have a book about everyday tasks: Maisy and Charley pick up toys, vacuum, and wash the windows inside and outside. ( )

Maisy the mouse cleans her house, and her friend Charley comes over. She has Charley help her clean the house. They clean the floors, windows, and pick up toys. This is a fun way to show children the many things in a house that should be cleaned. ( )
