Bookroo's summary

Cat's mess is out of control, but cleaning is the last thing on her mind. Dog insists on tidying up, but Cat prefers to play with the chaos. As the mess spreads, will Dog's persistence finally sway Cat, or will her playful antics win out? Discover the playful tug-of-war between responsibility and fun.

From the publisher

Cat has made a BIG mess! Maybe you should clean it up, says Dog. Cleaning is boring, Cat replies. She would rather move the mess, or jump on it, or hide it under the bed. Will Dog ever be able to convince her to clean it up?
