Tired of being washed by Mrs. Wishy-Washy, a cow, pig, and duck leave her farm and head for the city.

When Mrs. Wishy-Washy asks her farm animals to take a bath for Christmas, they find a way to take one without freezing.

This frog found in the rain forest of Central America spends the night searching for food while also being careful not to become dinner for some other animal.

In this resonant story, Cam the mountain boy follows the river from its trickling source in the mountain snow all the way to the coast. The river leads him through forest, farms, and towns to the salty wind of the sea. Dramatic landscape illustrations evoke a North American landscape and are packed with detail to explore the world of the river.
