My Thoughts:

Dirty Bumble and Clean Bean is a great book of opposites and extremes. It shows what can happen if you never clean and if you never do anything but clean. I think it will help children enjoy both having fun playing and getting dirty and then having fun cleaning up.

I liked the rhyming story. It made for a fun story to listen to if a parent was reading to his/her child.

The pictures were clear and colourful. They related to the text on the page and gave the reader picture context clues about what was happening in the story. This was helpful especially for a beginning reader.

At the back of the book there is an opportunity to request a free audio version of this book. I downloaded this audiobook. The story has a narrator and different voices for Bumble and Bean. There is no music or other sound effects but the story is pleasant to listen to regardless. The audio version is a nice addition to the purchase of the book.

I thought that Dirty Bumble and Clean Bean was a fun book for the younger child. I gave it 5 stars out of 5. I especially liked the free offer of the audiobook.


Thank you to the author Anat Umansky for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
