About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is starting to assert independence or when you are introducing new daily hygiene expectations. It is perfect for those moments when hand-washing feels like a chore rather than a choice. Using the beloved character of George, the story walks children through the specific steps of staying clean, from using soap to scrubbing between fingers. The narrative focuses on George's natural curiosity to explore the 'why' and 'how' of hygiene. By framing hand-washing as a way to stay healthy so we can keep playing, it removes the power struggle and replaces it with a sense of pride and accomplishment. It is highly appropriate for the 0 to 4 age range, providing a gentle, instructional bridge as children transition into 'big kid' routines.
