This is a good example of a children's picture book because it has very little text, and relies on the illustrations to tell the story. In this case, the illustrations are actually vivid photographs of a boy and his dog. They play outside, get dirty, and this book shows the steps they take to get clean. An interesting fact about the beautiful photographs that illustrate this book, is that the boy in the photos are actually of the author's own son.

Author's note in the back greatly increases the value of this delightful book! ( )
