Flora loves Bear just the way he is, but Mum says it's time for him to go in the wash. As he swirls round and round, Flora remembers how much fun they had getting grubby in the first place. When Bear is clean, he's just not the same, so Flora sets out to have some fun and get him back to his dirty but loveable self again. Then it's Flora's turn to have a wash - and good old Bear still loves clean Flora just the same.
