(For the 2013 A to Z Blogging Challenge, I will be featuring one book each day, that begins with that day's letter, that made an impression on me. This means that for some reason, I didn't just read that book and forget about it. No, I still think about it after some period of time has passed.)
Title: The Man Who Didn’t Wash His Dishes
Author: Phyllis Krasilovsky Illustrated by Barbara Cooney
Original Publication Date: 1950
Date I First Read: 1980ish
(My mom probably read it to us first, and then I read to my brothers.)
Basic Category: Picture Book
/ Children’s Fiction
Basic Summary: A man doesn’t
feel like washing his dishes, so after he runs out of clean dishes, he eats
from things like a soap dish and ash trays.
Soon, he is out of everything from which he can eat. Luckily for him, he has a pick-up
truck. When it rains, he piles them all
in!
What I Remember About the
Book: I pretty much remember the whole
book as it is pretty silly, actually. It
made an impression on me, though, that dishes should always be washed on a
regular basis!
What I Took Away From the
Book: Wash the dishes unless you have a pick-up and it going to rain hard
outside.

Sounds like a funny book.
That seems like a great, silly kids book.
