The Man Who Didn't Wash His Dishes

About this Scholastic Blue Ribbon Book: If you dont wash your dishes and you dont wash you dishes and you dont wash your dishes AND you dont wash your dishes...one day you might have to use a soap dish for a dish. Or a flowerpot. Or...what? Readers of all ages will laugh sympathetically over Phyllis Krasilovskys absurdly logical (and best-selling) story of a man on strike against washing his dishes--which has been in print since its publication in 1950. Illustrator Barbara Cooney has twice won the Caldecott Medal for "Ox-cart Man" by Donald Hall in 1980 and for "Chanticleer and the Fox" in 1959.
