From the publisher

A funny story about a boy, a robot, and a BIG, BIG mess! This Level D book is perfect for kindergarten readers. From the creator of the widely popular Fly Guy books! Fix this mess! Jake tells Robug. But Robug just makes things worse. Robug finally figures out how to fix the mess–but it’s not what Jake expected. Tedd Arnold’s illustrations of Robug’s frantic efforts are laugh-out-loud funny, as Robug tries again and again to fix the mess–stirring up clouds of dust, old pizza boxes, and banana peels, and leaving Jake’s cat more and more confused as he bounces from the couch to the top of the television. Fix This Mess! is an International Literacy Association-CBC Children’s Choice The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own! Suitable for late kindergarten readers, Level D books feature wider vocabulary, longer sentences, and greater variety in sentence structure than Levels A, B, and C. When Level D is mastered, follow up with Level E.
