Books with title Doing the Washing

Many hands make light work . . . or do they? In Doing the Washing, Mum decides to enlist the family’s help as laundry day rolls around once again. Her little daughter is eager to pitch in — what fun to sort the clothes, load the washing machine, measure the soap, and hang up the wet things. She's a big help, but what of the family dog, who has an unerring nose for all things wet and is just as eager to get in on the action? This simple yet delightful story is a lovely reminder that fun can be found in the most commonplace activities.

Join Ruby Raccoon and her brother Baby Ray, as their mother teaches them the basic chore of how to do the washing. By working together, they are able to transform what would be seen as a trivial task into something fun and rewarding. This beautifully illustrated book will stimulate your child from one page to the next, with rhyming verses and a find the sock activity.
