Now, I'm practically out of a job because I never get used by the people, and the other silverware won't have much to do with me either."

"Well, I hate to break it to you, my friend, Fork, but it appears you smell like last week's pork "

Industry Reviews

"This book is FABULOUS! Julia Cook hits on an issue that we have to deal with a lot at school. Hygiene is a very sensitive topic for kids and adults to deal with and this book handles it in a fun and easy way. Every school nurse, counselor, teacher, parent and child needs this book. A GREAT tool for a difficult topic!" - Twyla Kleen, RN, BBA, CRRN, CDDN 2014 School Nurse of the Year

AMAZING book. Both of my children HATE showering for a multitude of reasons but primarily due to sensory difficulties. We've used this book to help explain the importance of good hygiene, especially as they get older. I have an 8 and 10 year old who have both had b.o. (body odor) since kindergarten (STINKY!!!!) and this book helps explain the reasoning why good hygiene is important socially and emotionally as they get older as well. I highly recommend this book to all school-aged children; even tweens/pre-teens! - Amy, Amazon

I like this story. It says what needs to be said without any stigma. Young dirty kids around here, but now doing better with personal hygiene - Miriam H, Amazon
