About this listen

What Can a Mess Make? features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for ukulele music and the sounds of crafting!

In this adorable rhyming audiobook, two sisters spend their day playing at home and leaving joyful, cozy messes in their wake.

Kitchen clatter.
Milk and juice.
Syrup splatter.
Chocolate mousse.
Bowl of berries—
Red and blue.
A mess can make a meal for two.

From breakfast to bedtime, from pillow fort to pillow fight, these sisters make all kinds of messes.

Imaginative, playful, forgiving, delicious messes.

And their messes make a day full of possibilities.

With bouncy rhyming language, What Can A Mess Make? inspires listeners to embrace their imaginations, linger in the beautiful messes, and make some messes themselves.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Critic reviews

<p>"Rhyming text and charmingly clutter-filled scenes capture both the ingredients and the fun that can come from making a mess. . . . A childhood scamper through simple pleasures of sibling fun." —<i>School Library Journal<br></i><br>"The sisters’ love shines through as they work out new solutions in this house that looks like a place where creativity is valued. The illustrations include many details to expand on the spare, rhythmic text. . . . As these lively girls invite the reader to take part in their marvelous mess, who knows what they might make next?" —<i>Booklist</i></p>
