From Booklist:

PreS-K. Animal facts blend with splashy farce in this small, square book in the Early Experiences series. Does a giraffe take a bath? The question is accompanied by a silly picture showing a giraffe standing in a foaming bathtub. Turn the page and the animal is in its natural habitat, grooming itself with its long tongue and cleaning its baby's ears "just like you use a washrag." Following similar scenarios for an elephant, a zebra, a black rhino (a mud bath), and more, come several spreads showing how people keep clean and tidy: kids in the bath and shower; babies and toddlers being helped by grown-ups; and men at a barbershop. Surrounded by lots of white space, the simple words and line-and-watercolor pictures move easily from nonsense to fun facts and human connections. Hazel Rochman
