Stinky Polly

New Children's Book: Stinky Polly teaches lessons between children's fears and their parent's attempts at facing fears and overcoming challenges. Polly fears taking a bath, for several valid reasons, such as soap getting into her eyes, the water turning cold, or feeling cold after a taking a bath. Polly experiences rejection and sadness at school from her friends, because she chooses not to bathe, and her classmates decide that they will not play with Polly because she does not bathe and they are afraid of catching germs from Stinky Polly. Polly returns home from school in tears and her mother greets her lovingly with a hug and engages Polly in the etiquette of good hygiene. Polly overcomes her fear of taking a bath and enjoys it and is happy that she can relate with her schoolmates regarding taking a bath and being clean. Stinky Polly is an excellent little book that must be in every child's library.
