I'm excited to announce, my favorite childhood book, The Big Tidy-Up by Norah Smaridge, is being re-issued May 13, 2008! This has been out-of-print for more than 30 years, and I've trying to get my hands on one, like, for...ev...er. Used ones ran around $200-300 on ebay. This is an incredibly special book -- the original extreme makeover. I especially love this book because I'm still that messy little girl. Her room looked exactly mine growing up. (okay, maybe my room still looks like that) Pre-order yours today. Here are photos of my friend Kristy's copy.

This was my favorite book when I was a little girl. My mother would take one look at my room and say "Ok it's time, time for The Big Tidy Up. I looked for it in bookstores years ago to read to my son, Henry, but I could never find it. Thanks!

That's sweet! It's going for big bucks on ebay. If you look it up on Amazon.com, there are many fans who want this book republished too!
