What to Read After... David Walliams 17/02/25
Bear’s Wash Day
Publisher: Little Tiger
Bear and Croc are making smoothies. But oh no! They’ve made a mess. Time to do the washing!
Can you help Bear put the clothes in the basket and into the washing machine? Then, carefully pour in the soap and press the on button. Now watch the clothes go round and round, and when they’re done, you can help Bear hang them on the washing line.
With flaps to open and wheels to turn, this provides lots of interactive fun for babies and toddlers. The chunky format is perfect for little hands, and moving the simple flaps and sliders will improve fine motor skills. The pictures change as they pull and push and turn the various mechanisms, which gives the child a fantastic sense of power.
It’s lovely to create excitement about an everyday task, and the brightly coloured artwork is very appealing. Little readers will enjoy helping Bear and repeating the dramatic words like ‘SPLAT!’ and ‘BEEP!’
