New illustrated series follows young Allie Beth as she navigates everyday household tasks across three titles focused on tidying toys, folding laundry and doing dishes.
United States, 18th Jul 2026 — About the Book: Jamie Bartlett has published the "Allie Beth & Her No Good Chores" series, a collection of three rhyming picture books for young readers. The books use colorful illustrations and rhythmic text to depict the experiences of Allie Beth, a relatable young girl who initially resists household responsibilities.
In "Allie Beth & Her No Good Chores: Tidy Up Your Toys!", seven-year-old Allie Beth has so many toys that they are nearly stacked to heaven. When her mother asks her to tidy up, Allie prefers playing with neighbor children. The story shows the consequences of the growing mess and Allie's eventual decision to organize her belongings, leading to a sense of pride and improved family interactions.
"Allie Beth & Her No Good Chores: Fold The Laundry" features 10-year-old Allie Beth, who dislikes doing laundry, especially folding. Piles of smelly, stained clothes accumulate until she runs out of clean outfits and must borrow oversized clothes from her older sister, causing embarrassment at school. The narrative follows her process of tackling the task and learning the value of maintaining her belongings.
In "Allie Beth & Her No Good Chores: Do The Dishes", 13-year-old Allie Beth strongly dislikes washing dishes and declares she would rather eat a raw fish than clean even one. After refusing her chore, the dishes pile up dramatically, affecting her social life as friends can no longer visit. The book illustrates the buildup and resolution through her eventual participation in household duties.
Each book in the series employs simple rhymes and sequential illustrations to present age-appropriate scenarios. The stories emphasize natural consequences and the benefits of contributing to household routines without overt moralizing. The third title also includes interactive elements such as coloring pages, connect-the-dots and mazes.
