Ted is a kid who admires his uncle who is in the military. When his uncle comes to visit, Ted gets a lesson about the importance of cleaning up after himself. The subject matter is very simple and explains that he should clean up after himself. However, the underlying theme of taking pride in oneself is even more valuable. Subtle rhymes woven throughout the narrative help to develop a poetic feel that grasps a readers attention and holds on. Finishing with puzzles and games bring a continued value for the parent who wants to keep their little one occupied and excited about reading.
