Buzz on Books # 22

Before closing for Christmas, I decided to write a quick blog on this week's picks. All about animals, the first book is Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Farm by Joy Cowley. The story is in rhyme about farm animals that hate having to be put in the big tub and washed. Finally the animals decide to leave for the city to get away from all of the scrubbing bubbles. But being out on their own isn't what they thought it would be, and they soon wish they were all back on Mrs. Wishy-Washy's farm.

The second book is perfect for helping a child learn his or her ABCs. Cha Cha Chimps by Julia Durango is also in ryhme as 10 little chimps sneak out to go dancing, but one by one they all leave the group as they dance with other animals. With cute illustrations and a quick-read text, both of these books will bring a smile to your child's face.
