Book: “The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room” by Stan and Jan Berenstain

I love my kiddos, however, there are days I feel like all I do is pick up after the entire family.  It is amazing how quickly the house can get cluttered.  When you add all the kid books, toys and goodies it can become a mess in a hurry.  The girls do help pick up but the process is not always the most efficient and every so often we make a point to go through the toys and books they have to keep our home from getting cluttered with extra stuff.  We like the book  The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room by Stan & Jan Berenstain.  They have a whole series of great “character” books that our girls enjoy.  This is one of the books Mommy pulls out occasionally to read because it is good to not only remind the kids but the adults in our household that it is important to take care of the items we have.  Also, I like how they encourage the cubs to share with others.  I think it is important that we are good examples as parents first followed by teaching them through books and spending time organizing / putting away their toys with them.  What is one of your favorite Berenstain Bear books?
