From feathers to fur and scales to skin, Animal Baths explores the fun and creative ways the world's animals get clean. Human baths are kinda boring: all you need is soap, water, and a fluffy towel. Animal baths, however, are great fun. Imagine rolling in dust or mud to get clean-- horses, elephants, and rhinoceros do. Imagine using your paws like a washcloth and your spit like water -- cats, squirrels, and rabbits do. Imagine cleaning yourself by shedding your outer layer of skin -- snakes, frogs, and lizards do. Tired of cleaning yourself every day? Just get someone else to do your dirty work. Water buffalo and giraffes use birds to clean their fur, while zebras use their large teeth to clean a friend's fur. Monkeys and lemurs have their fur groomed by close friends and relatives, while turtles and coral animals have their shells and surfaces cleaned by fish and shrimp. Charming illustrations and fun text will make this book a favorite bedtime story. Includes glossary and index.
