About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is going through a messy phase or resists the transition from playtime to bath time. It provides a gentle, joyful bridge between the sensory thrill of getting dirty and the comforting routine of getting clean. The story centers on Curly, a little pig from the Farmyard Tales series, whose natural curiosity leads him straight into a mud puddle. Through simple language and tactile engagement, this board book validates a child's urge to explore their environment while modeling that cleaning up is just another part of the adventure. It is a wonderful tool for building early vocabulary related to hygiene and animals, making it an ideal choice for parents who want to turn a daily chore like bathing into a shared moment of fun and connection.
