This book is about Mrs. Wishy-Washy washing all her animals one day. When she tells them to get into the tub, all the animals hide in different places, including the garden, the shed and even under the bed. When she discovers they are all missing, she falls into the tub and all the animals come back smiling.
I like this book for younger kids. I think that they will like all the animals in it and how the animals try to hide, but as the pictures show, some are too big to hide where they try to. I think kids will find this and the ending funny. It is also easy enough for them to read on their own.
You could use this in a classroom to teach a lesson or unit about animals. This could also be used to teach alliteration.
