Reach for this book when your little one is struggling with the concept of personal hygiene or why they cannot give you a giant hug while covered in mud and jam. It is a lighthearted way to address the physical boundaries and 'yuck factor' that naturally occur in early childhood friendships. The story follows Sloppy, a lovable tree dragon, and his sprite friend Dewdrop, exploring how being a good friend involves thinking about how our actions (and our cleanliness) affect others. It is a perfect choice for children ages 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate social etiquette and the transition from messy play to gentle affection. Parents will appreciate the humor that avoids shaming, instead using laughter to model why a quick wash-up makes cuddle time much better for everyone involved.
