Mama Pig’s new little piglets are all clean and beautiful but, being piglets, they soon get grubby. Straight into the bath they go, but not without protesting that they do not WANT to be clean! Mama Pig entices them with rubber ducks and lots and lots of bubbles, and now the three piglets can’t wait to go out and get dirty so they can have ANOTHER bath. But one bath a day is more than enough for Mama Pig!

reschool-Kindergarten--Winsome grins of piglets remind readers of the joys (and challenges) of bathtime as Mama Pig attempts to get her little ones clean. "`And NOW-splishy splashy sploshy'-And she splooshed and she swooshed and galooshed them all over." McQuillan's cartoon illustrations capture a range of emotions: Mama's frustration, the piglets' initial stubborn refusal to cooperate, their outright exuberance in a bubble-filled tub, and a mischievous escape to "get GRUBBY again." Both cover and endpapers leave no question as to the topic of this book. The initial tub illustration leads to pages of pastel blocks with the youngsters and bath toys. While the story isn't new, the spacing of repetitive or sequential text perfectly suits the intended audience. Mama's piglets, like many toddlers, exude both innocence and boundless energy. They don't slow down even after the lights go out. Pair this title with Carol Roth's Ten Dirty Pigs/Ten Clean Pigs (North-South, 1999).
