Sloppy Joe audiobook

This book was very cute and I liked that it encourages you to be yourself. The illustrations were fun and colorful. They reminded me of being a kid and reading Junie B Jones books (same illustrator).

Dave Keane’s book, “Sloppy Joe,” is a fantastic book that takes you through the day in the life of an extremely messy boy named Joe.According to Joe’s mother, he is the first kid in history to take a school picture with gum stuck in his hair. According to Joe, he slurps, spills, slouches, talks with his mouth full, and puts his elbows on the table without even trying. Joe’s messy ways get the best of his family and eventually it even makes him want to change. My favorite part is when Keane writes, “So I decide something has to change. That’s when I make up my mind to not be sloppy anymore.”Kids can learn from Keane’s book that they have the power to change negative habits by simply making the decision to do something and following through with the positive actions that coincide with the goal.I highly recommend “Sloppy Joe.”

This was a very funny and interesting book about a boy named Joe who is very messy. Joe is always dirty. He brings mud in the house, he eats his food messily, and people call him Sloppy Joe. At one point, Joe feels like people do not like him for being messy, so he decides to be clean. However, some funny things occur as he tries so hard to be neat.I really enjoyed this book about Sloppy Joe. Joe realizes that even though he is messy, his parents still love him. I think this story shows that it is important to love and accept yourself, and to not change because someone told you to. Although, I think this book is very silly too, because you may still not want to be as messy as Sloppy Joe.

What a cute book that is sure to be a classroom favorite! Not to mention, I'm sure several students will be able to relate to Joe's sloppy behaviors, too. Aside from the humor this book provides, it can also be a great book to use when teaching predictions and main ideas to a class. I also love how the main theme of this book is accepting everyone, no matter how sloppy they might be. I will use this book as a fun large group reading, or maybe even as a guided reading for the upper grades. Ultimately I would recommend this book for first- fourth grade.

This is a really great book for any kiddo who feels like they just can't quite get it right. I bought it for my 7-year-old, who just happens to share many of Joe's qualities. He's an adventurer, a messy kid, and sometimes you wonder just what's going on in that mischievous little brain...and yet there's a heart of gold beneath the nuttiness that shines through it all. A sweet book (which my boy absolutely loves) and a good reminder to parents, too, to take a step back sometimes and remember that a spirited kiddo brings quite a bit of joy...no matter how messy their room might be. ;)

Sloppy Joe needs a little lesson on hygiene and cleanliness! Use this book to help your students see the importance in being clean. I love how in the end Joe decides to be cleaner, but people still loved the sloppy Joe because that is who he is. It is important for students to see that they are loved for who they are and they do not need to conform to others expectations to be loved. This is an unfortunate misconception that even adults need to correct. This story does a fantastic job of connecting to the students through Joe, and also implementing a personal lesson as well.

Joe lives a sloppy life, and everyone is always getting upset at him for it. Finally one day, he cleans his room and his clothes... and everyone still likes him the same way, and they tell him he can be sloppy-- but Joe chooses to be clean!Classroom: Cute to use when talking about hygiene, or cleaning your room- or household chores. As well as acceptance, everyone loved Joe no matter what.

This was very cute and would be fun to read in class for pleasure or to talk about hygiene. It's a simple topic to us, but sometimes kids don't understand how important it is to remain healthy just by brushing our teeth and washing our faces - this book can help us see that. It also addresses keeping your house and area clean, though, and how important this is to keep up with your things and respecting others' space.

Sloppy Joe by Dave Keane is filled with the type of humor that a 4-½ year old boy enjoys. From the meatball rolling across the floor to the boy being covered in mud, kids will laugh out loud for most of the book. The illustrations are very detailed and you can spend a lot of time on each page laughing at all of the messy, sloppy things going on! This is definitely a perfect book for a young boy!

When it comes to cleanliness you are either classified as a neat freak or a slob. In the character Joe's case he is a slob. Hygiene is an important topic that must be discussed with children. After reading this story to children ask them why it is important for us to be clean and the effects of us not being cleaning.

Sloppy Joe is the pro of all messes and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. He was "the first kid in history to take a school picture with gum stuck in his hair". He says that "You can barely notice". He knows that he is good at being sloppy so he rather be raised by alligators !

This is great for the sloppy little boy in all of us! Joe is a very sloppy kid that most kids would relate to. It's a book that shows it is great to be ok with who you are and that being yourself is a wonderful thing. Beautiful colors in this book and it has big pictures that can be seen around the room. Even has cool hand prints on the back cover.

Cute story about a boy who is sloppy and decides to clean up a little. I would use this book in the classroom to teach adjectives and create a discussion on hygiene during a health lesson. I believe students will have a lot to talk about when reading this book. It would be interesting to see what children would have to say about Joe.

This book is fun and children can relate especially the ones who likes being sloppy. Teachers can teach about helping parents and having chores in the home. Children can have responsibility and help out. This book shows that it is okay to have fun and be messy, but it shouldn't be that way all the time.

This was adorable. Great illustrations, too. My son loved it.
