Clutter Cut, Inc. by Lester Lex is a silly and fun way to encourage kids to clean up and clear out their unused toys and donate them to those in need. In this rhyming story, Cloot's mountain of toys is soon brought under control when he donates some of them to the local children's hospital and then decides to start Clutter Cut, Inc. so others can get involved too.Lex takes something that is most likely a problem for many families and helps children create a solution for it. While it's difficult to get the full effect of the artwork on my older version Kindle, the girls didn't seem to mind at all. Guillermo Piloto provided the illustrations for Clutter Cut, Inc. These zany illustrations did an excellent job of sharing the essence of the story. I like how we see some traditional toys-blocks, rubber ducky, and a teddy bear-alongside some odd toys (flying clock).I look forward to more from Lester Lex in the future.
