The Dirty Little Boy is a children's story about a very dirty little boy who so very badly wants to get clean. The double-page renderings by Steven Salerno are delightful and evoke the age of classic children's book illustration

The Dirty Little Boy is a children's story about a very dirty little boy who so very badly wants to get clean. He asks his dimwitted mother to bathe him but she's too busy doing laundry (scrubbing by hand, mind you!) and asks him to go watch the animals and learn how they clean themselves (can you imagine?!). The boy does as he's told and ends up getting dirtier and dirtier as the story advances. The double-page renderings by Steven Salerno are delightful and evoke the age of classic children's book illustration. The addition of veneers to certain 'slippery' spots in the artwork should intrigue small children.

Margaret Brown was nicknamed "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" because of her entire life story. There were 'Five Little Peppers' in this particular series of books. This series was written by Margaret Sidney. The nickname came when a play was written about her, and they used 'unsinkable' as a reference to the Titanic, since she was a hero of the disaster. It is the story of a very poor family over the course of 35 years, from 1881 to 1916. What has the author Margaret P Bryan written?

  • The Dirty Little Boy is a children's story about a very dirty little boy who so very badly wants to get clean. He asks his dimwitted mother to bathe him but she's too busy doing laundry (scrubbing by hand, mind you!) and asks him to go watch the animals and learn how they clean themselves (can you imagine?!). The boy does as he's told and ends up getting dirtier and dirtier as the story advances.
    My son was able to read this story easily and felt very proud doing so but tired about half way through and asked me to finish. Each page contains a large paragraph of text and it was slightly daunting for a brand new reader even though the words were very simple. He enjoyed the story and all of the little drawings on the bottom corner of each page and had a good laugh at the silly, not-too-bright boy. He laughed at the "big, round mother" whose, eh hmmm, rather large floral covered bottom is shown quite prominently. I was less than thrilled with this (and I'm 5'3, 110 lbs) but he's six and, of course, thought it was all quite hilarious. Maybe I've just lost my sense of humor.
    The final page, showing a clean, proud unclothed little boy cracked up my son because he tends to make a big to-do once he's clean too and despite the overall dated feel of the story he did manage to relate to parts of it. Overall he mostly enjoyed "The Dirty Little Boy" but his attention drifted midway (as did mine) and we won't be adding this one to our personal library.

  • Originally published in story form as "How the Animals Took a Bath" in a children's magazine, this was recently "rediscovered" and published as "The Dirty Little Boy," mostly -- I suspect -- to make a quick buck from the Margaret Wise Brown craze that has brought us such lovely recent books as "Two Little Trains." However, this is definitely not her best, which is probably why it was never published in book form before.
    What story there is here is annoying and brutally simplistic... this boy, apparently the stupidest kid in the world, is told by his big fat mother (also apparently lacking in intellectual capacity), to go off and take a bath like the animals do.
    The illustrations are generic and cheerful, with the slightly-clever addition of touchable "slippery" patches to accentuate mud puddles and the like, but the boy's rather obvious experiments bored my children almost immediately, as he idiotically dove into puddles (like birds) or scraped his legs with a horse-comb (like horses).
    The book's finale ploddingly offers the only "real" solution -- too late, the big fat mother comes to her senses and gives the stupid annoying kid a REAL bath. To which my kids (5 and 7) were pretty much saying, "Well, duh."
    This book might be of some use with very young children who will enjoy the animal pictures and the slippery illustrations -- and, most importantly, who won't care that the story is vacuous and dumb. But by the time they're old enough to realize that there are better stories out there, they'll want to hear one of those instead.

  • Wise Brown's simple story gets a first-rate packaging in this lively and colorful edition. The double-page renderings by Steven Salerno are delightful and evoke the age of classic children's book illustration. The addition of veneers to certain 'slippery' spots in the artwork should intrigue small children. With lush reproduction and a sophisticated visualization of some pretty primal elements (mud, slop and other kid-friendly media) this book moves jauntily to its pat conclusion. It's also nice to see the grandmother depicted in fleshy, earthy terms rather than as one of the sterile stick figures that pass for adults in too many books for youngsters.

  • I bought this book for my 5 yr old son. It is a simple story about a little boy who needed to take a bath but his mother was too busy to give him one right that minute. She tells him to go off and see how the animals get clean. So off he goes and sees how various animals clean themselves and attempts to do the same thing they do. In the end he is dirtier than ever and mom bathes him the right way. My 1 yr old daughter ended up enjoying this book as well because she loves animals. It's a nice book, not too wordy, and the illustrations are bright and colorful. I highly recommend it.

  • The book is an absolute delight.
    The art work is superb from the front cover to the back.
    The concept of the little boy, the mother, from the soap bubbles to the small drawings at the bottom of each page, wonderful.
    As I stated : delightful book.

  • "The water and mud was so cool and soft, the boy was sure that this was the only way to take a bath."
