ABOUT

In this beloved classic story, three stubborn farm animals don't want to get washed—and wind up making a bigger mess instead! The perfect bath-time story!

Uh-oh. It's wash day at the farm, and Mrs. Wishy-Washy won't back down. She's getting ready to rub and scrub all the animals, but Duck, Cow, and Pig won't stand for it! It's time to leave the farm for good.

But when they get to the big city, things aren't as simple as they'd thought. The streets are noisy, the food is strange, the shops are a mess--and there's no Mrs. Wishy-Washy to help them through it! Maybe the farm wasn't so bad after all . . .

In this beloved classic, clean-loving Mrs. Wishy-Washy returns with a sudsy story that will become a favorite before you can say "bath time"!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
