Putipuhtaissa possuissa on lastenkirjoille aika tavanomainen rakenne, jossa asioita toistetaan, tässä tapauksessa jokainen kolmesta pikkupossusta juttelee vuorollaan. Ihan hauskasti kaksi possuista puhuu sanoilla ja kolmas vain ääntelee, joten ajattelisin, että lapsi, jolla on haasteita puheen tuottamisessa, voisi samaistua tähän hahmoon. Tekstiä on vain pari lausetta per sivu ja kirjan pituus muutenkin sopiva leikki-ikäisille. Kuvitus on todella kaunis!

Bath time. Pigs. Good for pre-K or outreach.

mamma gives her messy pigs a bath, they don't want to, then they love it and want to take even more baths, there are bubbles and sneaking around in this story, sort of cute.

Squeaky Clean
by Simon Puttock,
The story is funny and entertaining.Piglet One, Piglet Two, and Piglet Three just can't seem to keep clean. "Oh, you mucky piglets," Mama Pig says. "Tonight, you will have a bath."But the three little piglets hate baths!So Mama Pig swishes and swashes and adds lots of bubbles, then she plop-plop-plops three rubber ducks into the tub to make the best bath time ever.
Filled with fun bath time sounds, Squeaky Clean has adorable illustrations that will make kids wriggle and giggle and giggle with glee. And, like the piglets in the story, kids hate taking baths so parents will love the "bath time is fun!" message.

Mama sees three little piglets that are all grubby and need a bath but the little piglets don't want a bath so Mama makes it fun by adding bubbles and ducks. When they are all nice and clean and ready for bed it's Mama's turn but when she gets out she sees her three little piglets are up to no good again.

I liked this story because it was very simple and the illustrations portrayed the story very well. This is great for little kids and for kids that don't like taking baths because it can show how much fun they can be.

The three little piglets are reluctant to have a bath. Mama pig has a number of tricks up her sleeve to make bathing fun; bubbles, ducks and splashing. Finally mama pig gets the piglets to bed and can have a bath of her own. Meanwhile the pigs have other ideas. Lots of fun and opportunities for bath time actions.

This book is about three little pigs who do not enjoy taking baths. Their mother makes bath time fun by adding bubbles and bath time toys. The piglets end up enjoying bath time and want to take another. This is a good story for children who do not like taking baths. This shows them that bath time can be fun.

I enjoyed reading this book. It would be a great book to read to children when promoting good hygiene. A great activity could be maybe showing children the proper way to brush your teeth and wash your hands in a fun meaningful way. You could also create a cute little sing along tune to sing with the kids while washing their hands.

The book contains illustrations such as shapes and vibrant colors and includes patterns for better visual. Great for singing along too and counting. Children will learn that bath time is fun, a great book parents will love their child to read. The book does contain sequential and repetitive phrases. The book has sound effects, children will certainly try for themselves.

If you have a child that's not a fan of baths, this book makes them sound super cool! It's also a straight-up good read for bedtime. My three-year-old loves it because it's about a Mommy who loves her piglets. She's asked me to read it to her several nights in a row.

Three little pigs (No not those ones from the fairy tale involving a wolf and property damages to straw houses.) are learning the value of getting clean and, yeah, pink while having fun in the tub. Like Coast Bar Soap, it's an eye opener of fun and frolic and I hope kids will squeal in delight!

Three little piglets are all dirty and don't want to get clean but mama pig insists. She gives them bubbles and toys and it turns out bath time can be more fun than thought. After mama takes her bath she catches the piglets sneaking out of bed. How could they be getting dirty again?

[Mason, Natalie & Oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a cute book about some piglets that don't want a bath, but their mom makes it SO fun, they want to have another! The kids really liked it, with all sorts of silly words in it.
