Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved by children, the favorite on the shelf., September 29, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Mesquite, TX) - See all my reviews

Be prepared to read it over and over again. The pre-schoolers laugh and giggle. They love to say "Wishy-Washy" and can't wait til the next page that opens up. A short enough book, even your littlest reader knows the next page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms Wishy-Washy is a delightful book for new readers., October 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mrs. Wishy-washy (Story Box, 16 Pages, Set A) (Paperback)

Ms Wishy-Washy is a colorful picture book for new readers. The cow, pig, and duck see the mud, and they wade, roll, and waddle in it. Ms Wishy-Washy then scrubs each animal clean. Then guess what the animals do next?

The book presents one word change per page and gives the new reader enough repetitions so that the reader learns the repeated words. The illustrations are marvelous. Children love this book, but so do adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Babies!, October 20, 2004

By	J Bird - See all my reviews

This is the only book my 8 month old daughter will pay attention to when we read to her. She actually laughs out loud to it! It helps to read it in a bad British accent! We read it before bath time and then play wishy-washy in the tub which keeps her giggling. Love it!
