Illustrated by
Tim Bowers.
Gorgonzola is a little dinosaur with a hygiene problem. One birdie who's had enough of his malodorousness teaches him how to brush, floss, and bathe thoroughly. After vowing to wash everyday, Gorgonzola begins hanging out with friends instead of repelling them. Readers will enjoy the sweet-tempered but clueless main character and wisecracking sidekick shown in illustrations that suggest grossness without being repulsive.
