About this listen

Welcome to the world of The Big Mess! This adventure-filled picture book from bestselling author Justin Whitmel Earley is packed with humor, chaos, and of course, a big mess! This heartwarming and relatable story about two siblings who must learn to get along reminds listeners that, no matter how messy, life is better when shared with the ones you love.

Follow along as big brother Mouse tries to bake the perfect dessert, only to be interrupted by his energetic yet clumsy baby brother Moose. No matter how Mouse tries to avoid it, catastrophe strikes whenever Moose comes near, and every “perfect” dessert gets destroyed! Can Mouse learn how to navigate his relationship with his baby brother and come to appreciate Moose’s uniqueness and spirit?

The Big Mess is:

  • Filled with humor and lots of love
  • A lesson in giving grace and being patient with one another
  • The perfect family listen for bedtime or anytime
  • A helpful story for navigating sibling relationships and learning to enjoy and get along with others despite their differences

Written in engaging and fun rhyme and features illustrations by Janna Mattia.
