Product Description
Bill the dog loved smelly things like muddy ponds and rubbish bins. Disgusting stuff he'd stick his snout in, sniff and snort and roll about in. Will the arrival of cleaning fanatic Aunt Bleach put an end to his smelly ways or will Bill live to stink another day?

I have read this book several times to children aged between 3 and 5 years at a day care nursery and they love it!
They loved joining in with the phrase "It's Bathie Wathie time for you!" and are amused by all the things Great Aunt Bleach does to try and get Bill the dog to have a bath. They also think it is funny when Aunt Bleach falls into the compost bin.
The messier the story the more the children seem to like it.
I would certainly recommend this story book. The illustrations are colourful and the text is clear and simple.
All in all it is good fun to read. Everytime I ask the children if they would like one of my story books read to them, the most popular request is "Smelly Bill."

Format:Board book
This is the first outing for a rather odourous canine called Bill and has had our family giggling mercilessly for quite some time now. Beautifully written and illustrated by Daniel Postgate, son of national treasure, the late Oliver Postage, Bill will do anything to avoid water and any form of getting clean. The family despair until they go on an outing, leaving Bill with someone who has HIM despairing before long. The formidable Great Aunt Bleach is led a merry dance by the pongy pooch until she finally gets the upper hand. The text has a magical rhyming quality to it, making reading it out loud an absolute joy. Go to town with the voice of Great Aunt Bleach and you'll have your little ones, (and not so little in my case), captivated. Bill has since been on an adventure with his cheesy chums in Smelly Bill Stinks Again and we can't wait for his 3rd outing to be released imminently as he falls in love. I hope that dear old Smelly Bill can become as lovable for children today as Bagpuss and The Clangers were for those of my generation.

Most important thing about this lovely fun perfectly rhymed book is that parents never get sick of reading it. I can't recommend it enough. We have read it to our 18 mos old since he was born. It was the first book he responded to from when he was very little. We think he liked the sounds. Wonderful. Thank you Mr Postgate. (think he is the son of the ivor the engine postgate - another family treasure.)
