Customer Reviews

One of the funniest stories ever!

This book is great for preschoolers (and myself) thru 2nd graders. If you like a funny rhymming story, this is the book!The verses in this book are surprisingly lighthearted and funny; perfect for read-alouds! Mrs. McNosh does her wash and HANGS EVERY VERSE ON THE CLOTHESLINE THROUGHOUT THE STORY! Paired with Ms. Wescott bubbly drawings, you'll laugh while you read and laugh after you've read, then laugh some more before you reread!

Teacher Recommended, Mother Approved!

When my son's teacher told me how much he enjoyed this book, I decided to buy it and haven't regretted it. It is filled with rhyming sentences and silly situations, and my kids love to see and read about the funny things Mrs. McNosh does on her laundry day.

Delightful book with great illustrations!

Although this book is supposedly for the 4 and up set, my 2 year old absolutely loves it! The rhyming text realy holds her attention and makes her giggle, and the illustrations are really great. We checked this book out of the library on a whim, and now it's one of our favorites. Mrs. McNosh hangs all kinds of crazy things on her clothesline, including sleepy bats, the turkey she's roasting that night, and Grandpa McNosh's removable teeth. She gets a wrong number and hangs up the phone(on the clothesline that is), and when she's all done, she hangs herself up in a comfy chair for a nap. A truly whimsical book that your little ones will enjoy, and you will love to read to them again and again.

An easy read-along story that makes you laugh

Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash is my 3 year old daughter's favorite book. She knows the ending of each rhyme before I get to it. From "Each morning at dawn" until "she hangs herself up in a comfortable chair", Mrs. Nellie McNosh captivates and tickles you with her wash.

An enjoyable read again and again...

Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash is simply fun reading! My children (ages 3 and 4) were captivated by the pictures and loved how the words in the story rhymed. Read Mrs. McNosh and find out what she will hang up next!
