From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1 Dad's car wash is actually a bathtub with his son John serving as the car. As dad strips off John's old paint (clothes), scrubs the wheels (toes), and washes the hubcaps (knees), John's toy dinosaur does the same things to John's model car. The colorful cartoons are full of quirky good humor, and the dinosaur's dutiful attention to John's car will appeal to young readers. However, many of the analogies here will mean more to adults than to children, since few youngsters will relate to ``degreasing the front axle.'' There are also a few discrepancies in the illustrations. At the beginning of the story, John looks a trifle old to be sharing bathtime with dad. The use of different perspectives makes the dinosaur appear to vary in size, which may confuse children. This isn't a necessary purchase, but it could be a fun supplement to health units. Lori A. Janick, Parkwood Elementary School, Pasadena, Tex.
