This baby bath book is a great, interactive way for children to learn the order of washing the basic body parts when learning to do wudu.Trade ReviewOur new family favorite book!! Im so impressed! It is super cute and fun! My 4 yr old son lovesss it!! Thank you for creating such an amazing learning aid! My first Wudu book is an amazing learning aid aswell as a fun book! (For all ages!). The more I see this book, I realize how it is actually also teaching older kids that every bit of skin must be washed as per sunnah, because only the areas touched by water change color, so they will try to wash every spot to make it change color. Amazing
