The Dirty Little Boy by Margaret Wise Brown {free book-inspired printables!}
{This post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}
My son’s favorite book right now is The Dirty Little Boy by Margaret Wise Brown. {Here is my Author Spotlight post on Margaret Wise Brown.} This is a sweet book by the author of Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, with modern illustrations. It is about a dirty little boy who asks his mother how he can get clean. He goes outside and watches how the animals take their baths. This story is so sweet — and could encourage a reluctant bather to want to take a bath! I hope you find it at your library and enjoy it as much as we have!
I decided to make some sweet printables for my son to be able to re-tell the story. I didn’t realize how much he would love them, so I will be making these for his favorite books and sharing them here.
The book-inspired printables include:
- Figures to cut out — for imaginative or popsicle stick play
- Mini book with pictures and words to cut out and read
- Mini book with words only for child to draw his/her own pictures
- Black and white coloring pages
Here’s John enjoying his little book :)
Coloring his pictures. Getting the boy very dirty.
“Can I color mud on him, mom?!”
He loved putting mud on the mom too.
And an incredibly proud mama moment… tracing the letters! I couldn’t believe my big three year old!
I took this dirty clothes photo this past summer :)
