Image of item We began with Dog’s Colorful Day. Dog is a white dog with a black spot on one ear. But in the course of a day he gets new spots of all different colors all over his white coat: a red splotch of jam, a gray splash of mud, a blue dab of paint, and more. A bath in the evening brings his coat back to its usual bright white.

 

 

 

 

 

Image of item Mucky Duck loves to get dirty! She cooks up a storm and gets covered in flour, then gets splattered with mud while she stars on the soccer field. She doesn’t love getting clean again, but that’s okay because she never stays that way for long.

The book invites readers to decide where various objects should go as the Hempels clean their house and put everything away. Will they find the whisk in the midst of all the mess?
