I Don’t Want to Wash My Hands!

Book Synopsis

The Little Princess loves getting her hands dirty. The trouble is, she hates washing them. Until she learns all about the nasties, the dirties and all the other horrible things that lurk and make you ill . . .

Our Review Panel says...

The Little Princess doesn’t want to wash her hands – not after playing outside, not after using her potty and not after sneezing! But when she hears about ‘germs and nasties’ from the family maid, the Little Princess begins to think that there might be something even worse waiting for her if she doesn’t head towards soap and water soon…

A useful picture book for discussing the when and why of handwashing, from Tony Ross’s popular Little Princess series.
