Archibald Frisby

Publisher: A Sunburst Book, Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Meet Archibald! A born scientist who can’t wait to discover and invent the next great thing; that is, until – to Archibald’s dread – his worried mom sends him to a camp to experience non-scientific fun. Yet, scientific minds will experiment and explore, wherever they are and, with Archibald, this is as true as e=mc2. And when he becomes the unlikely hero of a ball game, well…that’s just Archibald.

Recommended Age Range: 4 to 10

As only Tom Lichtenheld can do, What Mess? is a hilarious look at one boy’s extremely messy room. With wonderful illustrations to match his very funny words, your child will laugh at his antics, and excuses, for all the filth and clutter. With an ending of explosive proportions, and a new goal, your child might just be inspired to clean – or at least pick up a few things. Great fun!
