The Great Dog Wash by Shellie Braeuner

Braeuner, Shellie. The Great Dog Wash, illustrated by Robert Neubecker. Simon & Schuster, 2009. $15.99. Dogs of all sizes and breeds are all in need of a wash. Each dog must get in the tub for a bubbly scrub. Everything is going well; the dog washers are getting rid of the smell, when someone brings a cat. After the cat each dog goes, so the dog washers follow and finish the job with a hose. The Dr. Suess-like meter and rime propel the story, making this book a great read-aloud. The illustrations are a perfect match filled with color and energy. EL-ESSENTIAL. Samantha, Public Librarian.
