When was the last time you sat down and read your child a book? Children love being read to and entering into a whole new world. They love stories of pirates, princesses, animals, farms, and guess what- plumbers. I know, most people don’t think that plumbing would be a topic in children’s books, but it is. Here are a few books that can expose your children to the wonderful world of plumbing:

You might not know this but the classic children’s author Dr. Seuss wrote about plumbers. The book Happy Birthday To You is a classic Dr. Seuss book and a must-read for anyone’s birthday. Here is an excerpt from this fun and imaginative book.

• Just look at those Zummers! They’re sort of like Plumbers. They come along humming, with heads in their plumbing and that makes the music that Zummers call zumming!
• And all of this beautiful zumming and humming and plumbing and strumming and drumming and coming…
• All of it, all of it,
• All is for you!
