JENNIFER KNEW, AS well as you
That everything has its place,
But she just didn’t care a whit, a bit,
So her room was a real disgrace!
Jennifer’s mother has refused to touch Jennifer’s messy room until after Christmas Day. Free to let her room go, Jennifer turns a blind eye to the fustiness, the dustiness, and the spider’s webby empire up in the corner! Finally, one day, she can stand her own mess no longer, and gets to work— on the big tidy-up!
NORAH SMARIDGE wrote several books for Golden Books in the 1960s.

LES GRAY has illustrated over 30 children’s books. As an illustrator for Highlights for Children Magazine, he created a mouse named Link that appears in each issue. The illustrator lives in San Luis Obispo, California.
