Story: Ang Prinsipeng Ayaw Maligo
Author: Rene O. Villanueva

Okay, this is the first time which I will feature a local book (Made in the Philippines). This is one of the many Aklat Batibot's series of children's tale. It is written in Tagalog but you can translate this in English or whatever language you know in order for your kids to understand.
Anyway, moving on from the facts you can actually tell where the story is going base from the title itself. It has the common theme of a kid (a prince) who doesn't really want to take a bath. He makes up some excuses just to avoid it! But wait there's more! What will happen to him if his body keeps accumulating too much dirt and exudes unimaginable odor? You have to find out by buying this book! LOL!
I guess, one way or another we can relate to this somehow. There will be some instances wherein we know a kid (or maybe our own children, one of our siblings, our neighbor's kid) who is not really into washing and cleaning his or her body. This book is very helpful in explaining to the children in the most amusing and adventurous manner on the importance of taking a bath (or shower to some!)
Teachers can include this in their Health Subjects (e.g. Personal Hygiene) which can branch to not just cleaning your body but taking care of your teeth, nails and more!
Happy Reading!
