Children's book author Mee-Bar, along with the talented illustrator Emily Zieroth, present a book easily grasped by the youngsters age 4 to 7 for whom it was written. The illustrations are excellent and match the content of the well-written story - a story to which EVERY child can  relate!Scatter Brained Scotty had a habit of not putting his toys or his clothes away properly to the extent that one day as he is dressing for school he cannot find his shoes - even though the school bus is beeping to take him to school. Another day his good friends come to play with a special gift toy Scotty received from his grandmother, but alas, the toy can't be found by Scatter Brained Scotty who didn't put it away properly: he has disappointed his friends, and shamed himself. But on another day Scotty comes home from school with a prize candy bar which he places on a chair and proceeds to play in his room, falling asleep at bedtime. During the night he hears a noise and discovers that the sound is from a worm eating his prize candy bar he had forgotten where he placed. Now Scotty recognizes his problem and has learned to put everything in its place. Scatter Brained Scotty becomes Clear-headed Scotty.Mee-Bar has a way of presenting children's traits that need correcting into language and situations where a child can readily learn - and read.
