Another fun rhyming book by one of my favorite children's book authors."One warm day in early May,Farmer had a planTo spring-clean all his animalsTill each was spic 'n' span."And he has no trouble washing his horses, ducks, cows, goats, cats and dog. But the hogs? When he goes to the pigpen, he sees that the pigs have made a sign:"No hogwashFor us todayPigs love dirt-So go away!"And the battle is on. Will Farmer be able to complete his spring cleaning? Or are there other surprises ahead? Fun illustrations make this a delightfully silly book. A cute story about a farmer that tries to spring clean all of the animals on his farm but meets his match when he tries to give the pigs a bath. The artwork is incredible! The colors are beautiful and each page is detailed without being too cluttered. The story brings to mind Click, Clack, Moo in that the pigs write the farmer messages and also brings to mind Green Eggs and Ham in that the farmer is at odds with the pigs throughout much of the book only to come around to the pigs' way of thinking by story's end.
Do You like book Hogwash! (2011)?
Adorably written. I loved the lyrical rhymes and the fun illustrations. My kids loved this story.

This book was okay, not a bad okay, just not as exciting or cute as I'd hoped.
