Product Description
JENNIFER KNEW, AS well as you
That everything has its place,
But she just didn’t care a whit, a bit,
So her room was a real disgrace!
Jennifer’s mother has refused to touch Jennifer’s messy room until after Christmas Day. Free to let her room go, Jennifer turns a blind eye to the fustiness, the dustiness, and the spider’s webby empire up in the corner! Finally, one day, she can stand her own mess no longer, and gets to work— on the big tidy-up!

• The Classic Golden Book Story Is Back In Print 15 June, 2008
The classic Golden Book story is back in print in a new presentation for new generations telling of one Jennifer, who just doesn't care that she's a slob. Les Gray provides fun drawings for a rollicking rhyme about a too-messy little girl.

• Re-released!!!!! 27 August, 2007
I, like many reviewers, loved this book as a child. During a recent move, I lost the pages (still have the cover) to the book. I was shocked at the prices listed for used copies and thought I would never be able to replace it for my children. Just found out it is being rereleased in May of 2008 and Amazon is taking pre-orders! I have already placed my order and can't wait!

• Finally!!! 12 June, 2008
Finally "The Big Tidy Up" is available again for those of us who did not have the hundreds of dollars an old copy cost on line. This was my daughter's absolutely favorite book when she was about three years old. She had it memorized. Her twin girls now have their own copies from "Nana." We'll see how their rooms come to measure up compared to hers in terms of absolute messiness.

PS: WE still love the "pie under the pillow" detail.

• Love This Book!! 10 July, 2007
Like all the others this was a favorite book of mine as a child. I am 43 now and still remembered "Jennifer knew as well as you that everything had it's place, but she didn't care a wit a bit and her room was a real disgrace" !!
They really need to reprint this book. It will be loved by many children once again.
I just purchased a copy for $265 because I no longer had mine. It was worth it!! Now I will protect it and cherish it for as long as I own it.
I'm going to write to the publishers too and see if we can't get this book in stores for this generation and the next ....

• Yay! They Listened And Republished This Gem! 02 June, 2008
I am so excited that this book is back! My sister and I, children of the 70s, went searching for this memorable book to share with our kids. And like apparently hundreds of others were shocked to find that it was out of print and that used copies were selling at very high prices (I saw one listed for $395!!). My sister just e-mailed to let me know it's really back. She already bought me a copy. What are they thinking selling it for only 8.99? I'm going to buy a dozen. Seriously! This book should be featured on the Today Show. It's a true gem. I have only two criticisms -- what took you guys so long to rerelease this!!! AND with the next reprint, because this one is going to sell out, make it into a larger format because the illustrations are worthy of a bigger size.
