Pippin Takes a Bath

(4) K-3 Pippin and Mabel series. Illustrated by Bernice Lum. When Mabel sees her dog Pippin covered with mud, she wants to give her a bath, but Pippin loves mud and hates baths. It isn't until Pippin meets a skunk that she's willing to be bathed. The conflict between these two determined personalities will amuse readers, but the cheerful line drawings with flat colors sometimes seem crowded by the long text set in a simulated handwritten font.
