Rumours are flying around that after the book "Kake Make and the Dwarf of Mess" was published, all kids learned and got used to being tidy.

The book tells a story about a naughty girl named Kornelija, who nicknames herself Kake Make. This little mischief hates being tidy, so her grandmother tells a story about the Dwarf of Mess who visits such stubborn children at night and tidies up their toys scattered around the whole room. One night Kake Make wakes up and sees that mystical Dwarf who is tidying away her things and putting them into his bag. The girl decides to follow the Dwarf and climbs up the ladder after him to the Moon and gets into his secret shed. In that place the little Kake Make has to fulfill some tasks (and the young readers are also encouraged to engage in this process!). Of course, one of the most important tasks is to put all things scattered around into places they belong to. When all challenges are completed, the girl wakes up in her room - the room where all her yous are placed neatly on the shelves. But that is not the end of the story. The last page is dedicated to parents - the other night, the Dwarf of Mess carrying his special bag appears in the parents' bedroom and is highly determined to tidy everything up.
