For exasperated parents of sticky children comes a hilariously unexpected and surreal cautionary tale on cleanliness to get even the most reluctant kids excited about bath time. Mildred Honeyfur LOVES being sticky and REFUSES to have a bath. She sets off to find the stickiest things in the world – doughnuts, pond slime, toffees and glue – until she becomes a ball of stickiness, rolling through the town sticking to everything … and everyone! Stuck in the ULTIMATE sticky situation, will Mildred ever be stopped?Written by the winner of Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year and the Queen's Knickers Award, Alastair Chisholm, with wildly imaginative pictures by Rikin Parekh, illustrator of Greg Jenner's Totally Chaotic History series.
- Hilarious read-aloud chaos with a satisfyingly soapy ending.
