Wanda's Washing Machine

My 5 year old daughter loves this book. It is alot of fun. I gave it to her with a mini washing machine toy that actually works.

This is one of my favorite books in my toddler's rather extensive library. A true delight to read! My 2 1/2 year old daughter has had this book for 5 days and has already memorized it. The story is very simple -- a little girl is a very messy eater, and each time she gets food on her clothes, her mum pops them in the washer, the little girl tells the washer to "eat dirt!" and rumble tumble, the clothes are clean -- but the way it's presented is so perfect. There's a pop up washing machine in the back of the book with press out clothes for the child to toss into the washer. A combination of a simple plot, catchy phrases, alliteration, repetition (but not too much), adorable illustrations, and an interactive surprise at the end of this book create a perfectly delightful reading experience. You will be surprised by how much you enjoy hearing your little one yell "eat dirt!"
