Reach for this book when your child starts negotiating their way out of bath time or 'forgetting' to use soap and shampoo. It is a lighthearted tool for addressing the common struggle of personal hygiene and the small deceptions children sometimes use to avoid routines they dislike. The story follows a young boy who pretends to wash his hair until his messy, unkept locks become so tangled that a bird decides to move in and build a nest right on top of his head. Through humorous rhyming verse, the book explores themes of honesty, responsibility, and the natural consequences of our choices. It is developmentally appropriate for preschool and early elementary children (ages 3 to 7) who are beginning to take more ownership of their self-care. Parents will appreciate how it uses 'ew' factor humor and absurdity to deliver a message about hygiene without being overly preachy or stern.
