Amanda's Room

About the Book

Amanda's Room is a muddled mess because she would rather play, than clean her room. Even her friends would prefer to sleep in the barn instead of steering through the piles of toys and clothes that litter her bedroom floor. One day, with the help of the barnyard animals, she learns the importance of having a room that is "clean as a barn".
