I don't know what it was exactly about this book, but I REALLY liked it as a kid and now I want to be able to share it with my twin boys (age 4). Wish I knew what happened to my copy! Definitely worth sharing with a whole new generation. LIVE ON PICKLE PICKLE PICKLE JUICE!! (ha ha)

This was my favorite book when I was little, and as other reviews have mentioned, there is alot of repetition in it. Easy for a child to memorize and I loved "reading" it to my parents. I had done a search on Amazon.com for this books many many months ago and it was no where to be found. I knew it couldn't be true, but it felt like perhaps I was the only one who had ever read this book, lol. I have no idea what happened to my copy, although I do remember the front cover falling off, I had read it so many times. Sure wish I still had it to share with my children now...

I remember going to the library with my mum and filling the 50 book limit with these types of paperback childrens books when I was a little girl. This one, however, is the only one I still know the words to. Not that it is some impressive feat, but it is a book that played a major role in my childhood. I remember curling up on one of my parent's laps, pulling this book out of the pile, and giggling at the repetitive "pickle juice" refrain. It was also the first book I learned to read aloud! It is too bad that the book is out of print, though; since I always checked it out of the library, I don't have a copy of my own. When I have a child, I hope to read it to them, reliving my memories and still laughing along with the ridiculously adorable story line.

This is a book that I enjoyed as a kid. It is the perfect book for a young reader. If you are lucky enough to come across this book it is a definite good deal. Any child would love to read of the boys love of mud and his amazing washing machine. With so few words and the constant repetition it is child friendly.

I have looked for this book for years, it was one of my favorites as a child. I would definately recommend it to any reader, young or old. It brings forth the imagination and carries the reader back to those delightful days when getting dirty was all that mattered.

This book is wonderful. It was handed down to all of my siblings in my family and was a favorite of all. Great imagery leads to fantastic fun and imaginative excitement. This book is a must for both boys and girls. Loving mud doesn't hurt either.

This is the first book I ever read as a kid. I remember checking it out of the library every chance I could! I loved it as a kid and have fond memories of reading it over, and Over, and OvEr, and OVER again! Enjoy!
