Although pigs have a reputation as being very dirty animals, the protagonists of this story discover great pleasure in daily hygiene.
Tito is a very happy and playful little pig, and he likes having a wash as much as he likes getting dirty again. However, what is true is that he is very careful with his personal hygiene, and so while his mummy takes care of her daily chores, he locks himself in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, his loving mummy interrupts her work to see how her son?s getting on washing himself. He is meticulous and responsible, and he answers his busy mother?s insistent questions until finally, shining and smelling of perfume, he comes out of the bathroom ready to go to his favourite playpen: the mud hole.
This is a book that promotes independence and respect in the development of children?s abilities in personal hygiene at the same time that the self-esteem of the young readers quickly identifies itself with the main character.
