Lizzy comes home from school and her mother wants her to clean her room before she can go outside.  Lizzy reluctantly goes to her room, but doesn't see what all the fuss is about.  So she begins to play.Now somewhere, we are supposed to get the idea that while she is playing she is also cleaning her room.  However, I didn't see it.  Other than one sentence about her tugging on the sheets, I did not get the feel of her cleaning her room.The intention of the book is quite clear the execution is only OK.  The drawings are bright and colorful and have extra little details in them, but they felt a bit flat.If used as a way to show hot to play pretend it is a bit long winded, but OK.  But it does not teach the intended lesson.I'd probably give this one a miss.
