- a funny book about how the different activities of the day (such as splashing in the mud, playing dress-up, playing soccer, baking with Dad) turn the bath water a different color each day. "Dunk me in the tub, please, for green kid tea!" The rollicking rhyme is great. "Monday, fun day, mud-pies-in-the-sun day. Brown and sticky, hands are icky, mud-is-on-my-nose day, squished-between-my-toes day."We've just discovered Lynley Dodd. If you haven't read her books, you must! They are funny and she doesn't shy away from challenging vocabulary words like boisterous, cantankerous, pilfered and pillaged, and so many more. The three we've read to date are: Slinky Malinki, Hairy Maclary Scattercat, Hairy Maclary's Rumpus at the Vet

Whoa, 4 out of 4 are new to us :) I will make sure to look for these titles. Thanks for joining WMCIR!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I need to get that first book! It looks like so much fun. Of course it might give my kids ideas.....
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Hairy MacClary and Slinky Malinky and have been reading them since L was about 10 months old. Another great one by the same author is Scarface Claw. A big favourite in our house!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to check out kid tea. My son is really into the days of the week right now!
