When it comes to being clean, no siblings are more different than Tidy, Messy and VeryMessy. On the first day of summer vacation, the three children find themselves in a very sticky situation. Lost, scared and without mom or dad to help them, they have to decide for themselves: when you're in a mess, should you get tidy or should you get very messy? The stories of Tidy, Messy and VeryMessy were told to Michael R. Young and Christina Moyer by their father when they were children. Though he never identified who was the messiest and who was the tidiest between Michael, Christina and their older sister, they made their best guess in bringing the first of these stories to life.
