This book is about different animals finding mud and wanting to play in it. This book is perfect for early childhood ages and i would use it as part of an animal theme.

Mrs. Wishy-Washy loves to wash and clean things. She comes across lots of animals which include a cow, pig, and duck who are all dirty and so she decides to clean them all up. But the animals don't end up staying clean for long. This book is great for young children. (

This is a good book to have in a younger elementary classroom because it is simple and easy for younger children to enjoy.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399233911, Board book)

Cow, Pig, and Duck are playing in the mud, when along comes Mrs. Wishy-Washy. "Oh lovely mud," think the three friends. But Mrs. Wishy-Washy says, "Just LOOK at you!" and washes them clean: wishy-washy, wishy-washy.

But what do you think happens the moment Mrs. Wishy-Washy turns her back on this mud-loving trio? Better have a scrub brush ready!

Children around the world have laughed at the fastidious Mrs. Wishy-Washy as they first discover the joy of reading. A perfect introduction to the delightful storytelling of Joy Cowley.
