Are Your Hands Clean? By Erin Horner

¹     Matt went outside to play. He had a lot of fun digging in the dirt and making new roads for his favorite truck. Pretty soon, it was time for dinner. When Matt came inside, his mom told him to wash his hands. How did she know that his hands were dirty? She could see the dirt all over them! It was very clear to see that Matt's hands needed a good scrubbing.
