The Reading Warehouse

A giggle-producing beginning reader from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Weeks

Each Monday at dawn, Mrs. Nelly McNosh brings out a barrel and does a big wash.

Mrs. McNosh's wash is certainly big--and definitely wacky. You'll be surprised to see what is hanging on her clothesline by the end of the day

Sarah Weeks's hilarious tale, complemented by Nadine Bernard Westcott's lighthearted illustrations, is perfect for reading aloud.
