Mrs. Wishy-Washy
Mrs. Wishy-Washy is a popular children's book character created by New Zealand author Joy Cowley, and illustrated by Elizabeth Ann Fuller. Since its debut in 1980, the series has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The Mrs. Wishy-Washy character has been featured in 20 short stories for early readers over the past 30 years. She is frequently accompanied by her barnyard friends Cow, Duck and Pig. Occasionally featured is her husband, Mr. Wishy-Washy, who is usually depicted washing dishes. Mrs. Wishy-Washy is known for her obsession with cleanliness, and her (failed) attempts to keep the animals from getting dirty. Her most famous quote is "Oh, lovely mud!".
==History==
The first Mrs. Wishy-Washy book was released in 1980 through Shortland Publications in New Zealand. As of 1996, that title alone had sold 40 million copies worldwide. It was reprinted in 1990 through the Wright Group, where it gained national attention with teachers and administrators in the United States. When Wright Group (as part of Tribune Education) was acquired by McGraw-Hill in 2000, the new conglomerate took over ownership rights of the early titles. More recently, Mrs. Wishy-Washy has been featured as part of Hameray Publishing Group's "Joy Cowley Collection".
