I'M NOT TAKING A BATH! What would happen if you took it to the extreme and never washed up? This humorous, fact-based cautionary tale shows the effects of not bathing on your body--and your social life! For kids who want to know the why of everything, author Thomas Kingsley Troupe takes readers down an imaginative, subtly instructive path of what ifs. If you never take a bath, body odor gives way to itchy skin, acne, and infections, leading to the conclusion that keeping clean is good after all. Expressive illustrations bring these narrative nonfiction stories to life. Fun facts, tips for good hygiene, a glossary, and further resources enhance learning.
