What does it say about me if I brought home a book home for my 3 year old son, and he was grossed out by it and I thought it was hilarious (& cute)? The book in question is Felicity Floo Visits the Zoo by E. S. Redmond. Felicity Floo takes a trip to the zoo, even though she has a terrible cold, and she fails to bring tissues. She touches all the animals and leaves slimy, green hand-prints on them, and, of course, they all come down with colds. The hand prints are done with shiny green ink, and seem to jump off the page. It is a funny, cute story about the value of hygiene, with a few boogies (well actually quite a few of them) thrown in for good measure. The illustrations are wonderful, and Felicity is adorable despite her green hands and red nose. "Mama, I don't like that book Felicity puts her boogie hands on everything"--you just never know with those boys!

Try that old joke on him--"How do you make a tissue dance? You put a little boogie in it!"
