Did you know that some brave birds help crocodiles clean their teeth, or that beavers use their claws to comb their fur? Can you imagine if your bath was full of snow instead of warm water? Surprisingly, polar bears still get hot, so the snow helps them cool off while also cleaning their fur!
Discover the sweet, snuggly, and sometimes surprising ways animals wash themselves – and each other – in this gentle introduction to non-fiction. Perfect for readers from 3+, this beautifully illustrated book shows all kinds of animals from around the world. Amazing facts are accompanied by simple questions, encouraging children to think about their own bathtime and how similar – or different – it is to the way animals wash.
With gently informative text from award-winning author and travel-writer Ben Lerwill, and adorable wildlife illustration by Maribel Lechuga, this is the perfect first non-fiction for young readers, and an ideal book to share together as you wind down after a bath and before bed.
