I've said it before, I'll say it again- rhyming books are the best.
And, let's be honest, Karma Wilson has a gift. She is a rhyming wizard.
Great children's book!

Would have given it 5 stars if it did not include the word gosh. Very cute story and I love the rhyming.

Super cute rhyming story about pigs who don't want to be washed. Reminiscent of Cronin's Click Clack Moo.

Fun rhyme and a silly farm story. Not my favorite ever. Would be ok for a storytime.

When the farmer got a wonderful idea about washing all the animals, he was not expecting such protest from the pigs. No matter what he tried, those hogs refused to be washed. Try as he might, there was no way to trick the curly-tailed porkers. Even his most conniving plan went awry and he ended up inside the pen, covered in mud. It was then that he had an epiphany and ended up seeing just how much fun life with in the mud. Neo got a good laugh out of the story and could not believe that those pigs could be so smart. In the end, it was the realisation that the farmer could not win that had Neo in stitches. A great way to end his day.

It’s time for Farmer to wash the animals. All the animals are amenable to this, except the hogs. The hogs are openly rebellious.

Full of clever word play and lots of mud.

“Farmer stomped his feet and yelled,
‘You oinkers got me riled!’
They still refused to take a bath.
Those pigs had gone hog wild!”
