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.

      Karissa Vacker's gentle voice ripples with mirth as she recites Bee Johnson's descriptions of the many things a mess can make: meals and snacks, props for imaginative play, art, a squabble, a reconciliation, and more. Lists of messes conveyed in bouncy rhyme unfurl alongside a jaunty soundtrack augmented by occasional sound effects. These last are often necessary to fully understand the nature of some of the messes. The sound of breaking crockery underscores how a "heavy platter" and "little hands" lead to "a change in plans." These ensure that listeners who enjoy the audiobook without the picture book will follow the verses' gist. (Those with Johnson's illustrations in hand will see a smashed bowl of spaghetti and the delivered pizza that becomes dinner.) An exuberant celebration. V.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
