My 4-year-old loved this book. He liked guessing if each animal would take a bath and if not, how would that animal get clean?

"Who takes a bath? Does an elephant?"
Turn the page and the elephant is using his trunk to spray water.
"Not exactly. An elephant takes a shower to soften its thick skin."

I read this book during my Bath storytime, and I like how it teaches the kiddos what different animals do to get clean. It's a good book for teaching hygiene.

Good for storytimes featuring hygiene.

A nice book that talks about the importance and details of bathing, while exploring how other animals keep themselves clean.
