Summary: A silly, mediocre, little story.
Comment: 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.

Summary: the dirty little boy
Comment: I read to children once a week at my public library.
The bright colors and art work contribute to this being one of their favorites.
Nice book.
