The day that Henry finally cleans his bedroom, reporters gather to capture the historic moment when, at Henry's command, hundreds of assorted creatures exit the messy room

From the moment reporters convene to cover the event, the cleaning of Henry's room--for the first time in a year--is a momentous occasion. Henry first chases out the creatures that have shared his space: these include mice carrying rubber bands and mismatched socks, and a possum riding a skateboard, wearing Henry's long-lost Hawaiian shirt. When the boy begins clearing out the inanimate objects he has collected, he needs help from the army, the Historical Society and a team of scientists. Finally, the room is clean, but poor Henry is understandably disoriented--and lonely. Young readers will be as pleased as Henry is when his animal roommates reappear, bringing with them a comfortable amount of clutter. Wilson's hilariously hyperbolic look at an all-too-familiar chore is sure to be a favorite with kids. They will find lots to look at--and chuckle over--in the illustrations of Henry's veritable disaster area. Ages 4-8.
