A really fun read aloud. -- Jill R. Bennett * Red Reading Hub * What a fun story Sticky Mildred is my 7yr old was laughing lots from the zany story to Rikins brilliant illustrations. Perfect for those children not keen on bathing, this is also a story to get young children predicting about what Mildred will get stuck to next!
