For exasperated parents of sticky children comes a riotously funny picture book about a sticky squirrel called Mildred who does NOT want to take a bath.

A hilariously unexpected and surreal cautionary tale on cleanliness to get every sticky child excited about bath time.

Mildred Honeyfur LOVES being sticky and REFUSES to have a bath. She sets off to find the stickiest things in the world – doughnuts, pond slime, toffees and glue – until she becomes a ball of stickiness, rolling through the town sticking to everything … and everyone! Will Mildred ever be stopped?

Written by the winner of Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year and the Queen's Knickers Award, Alastair Chisholm, with wildly imaginative pictures by Rikin Parekh, illustrator of Greg Jenner's Totally Chaotic History series.
