Reach for this book when your little one is pushing back against bath time, chores, or the general rules of the house. It is a playful mirror for the child who feels that parental expectations are just too much and dreams of a life with more freedom and less soap. The story follows a cow, a pig, and a duck who decide they have had enough of Mrs. Wishy-Washy's scrubbing brush. They run away to the big city, only to find that the urban landscape is loud, messy, and decidedly unfriendly. Through their humorous mishaps, children learn that while rules and hygiene can be a nuisance, they are part of a loving home where they are cared for. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students navigating the tension between independence and the need for security.
