Wanda and her mother keep Walter the Washing Machine right in their kitchen because Wanda is a very messy eater, in a title that ends with a pop-up Walter and punch-out clothes that Walter make clean. 10,000 first printing.
I am so lucky to spend my life working with books and stories. I've run groups for babies, toddlers and their parents in libraries, reading stories and introducing children and carers to great books; I spend time writing and I'm Editor-at-Large for the magnificent independent publisher, AlannaMax in the UK. In my spare time, I read - what a wonderful life! There are some Children's Books on my shelves (obviously) but for a more comprehensive selection of children's recommendations, look at Lulu's shelves: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/32...
Full disclosure- I'm friends with the author. But this is a darling little book. And even my 14 year old had a go with washing the clothes (just for kicks, of course)
