A compact book for little hands, this book is a board book my little girl’s hands like to reach for often. She would flip through and I would show her how the appliance works as illustrated in the book. The googly eyes were a nice touch!
This book opens up to show readers this is what a dishwasher looks like. And its big job is to wash dishes. The illustrations showed readers a sink full of dirty dishes. Next few pages, readers will see how a dishwasher works. And then young readers will see the dirty dishes getting what looks like a bubble bath.
Dishwasher’s Big Job was well put together. A cute series for early readers learning important machines around the house. My 2 year old daughter uses our dishwasher as her drum set, banging on it and laughing at the noise. Now, however, she able to learn that it’s more useful than the noise it makes. One vocabulary word used in this board book that surprised me was bedraggled bowls! Such a big word for early readers. Love the humor of the spoon being in a sauna and the sippy cup getting a shower. I recommend this series for kids everywhere.

This was a spontaneous purchase at the bookstore since E. is interested in our kitchen appliances. The googly eyes caught my attention. It’s set up well with how it basically functions but didn’t really keep his attention. The googly eyes being only on the cover page was a missed opportunity to me.

An entertaining board book that explains the workings of the dishwasher to the youngest readers. Little ones who like "real things" explained will appreciate the simple text and gently humorous illustrations. A good book to add to preschool units about everyday life.

This and it's companion books are hits at my house. I love them because they get kids thinking that way earlier on and because it answers so many questions(therefore I don't have to). The kids love the style and the information as well as the ending punch line.

This is a funny, entertaining look at one household appliance's big job. The goofy eyes on the dishwasher were a nice touch; I knew I would have liked this book as a kid. It also made me wish I had a dishwasher.
