This is book describes how Neat Nick is struggling to clean up the streets of his town and wants help from Sloppy Joe. Although because sloppy joe is lazy, Neat Nick is hoping that he learns to change his ways. This is a realistic fiction because although this isn't based off a true story this could definitely be something that could happen in real life as many people are constantly trying to keep the planet clean. A way I could use this book in class is to discuss the importance of recycling. Another way I could use this book is to talk about the difference between being sloppy and neat. The media in this book is mixed media and acrylic. ( )
