Mrs Wishy Washy's Farm



Wishy-washy! Wishy-washy! Too many baths are too much for Mrs Wishy-Washy's farm animals and they decide to hit the road. Before long they'll be wishing for one of her baths...

The best known and best loved of Mrs Wishy-Washy's adventures by Joy Cowley, illustrated by Elizabeth Fuller.


Mrs Wishy-Washy is at it again, rubbing and scrubbing all the animals on the farm. But this time they are not standing for it. Duck, Cow and Pig are leaving mean old Mrs Wishy-Washy for ever. They run away to the big city. But when they get lost they start to think that maybe Mrs Wishy-Washy and her farm aren't so bad after all.
