Clean House — Jessie Haas

"As Aunt Alice and Cousin Kate's visit draws near, Tess and her mother embark on an emergency cleaning program that leaves them exhausted, their pets banished to the yard, and their house too neat to feel like home. When Tess overhears Alice and Kate laughing about their own messy lifestyle, she decides to come clean. The six entertaining, large-print chapters feature illustrations on almost every page, making this a good choice for children just beyond the beginning reader stage; but older children will enjoy the book's humor."--Booklist.
