“Mr. Messy and Mr. Neat”

I bought this picture book because it was illustrated by Paul Cox.

Always leaving things out and not finishing what they start. They get completely absorbed in the things they love and are total slobs who let the place get a total mess.

Ms. Katashi, who keeps things tidy everywhere and maintains perfect order at all times.

These two, who are complete opposites, accept and complement each other as they live together freely and happily.

It was a picture book about an unlikely duo that really embodied neurodiversity (*^^*)
