"The 20-Mule-Team Brigade: Being a story in jingles of the good works and adventures of the famous 'Twenty-Mule-Team'" by Otis H. Kean is a whimsical and humorous children's book likely written in the early 20th century. It presents a lighthearted narrative in the form of engaging jingles and illustrations, recounting the adventures of a team of mules who are personified as brave warriors in a battle against dirt and grime. The story serves to entertain while subtly promoting the use of Borax, a cleaning product associated with the mules. In the book, the twenty mules embark on various escapades, where they fight against the mischievous 'grimy Imps' that represent dirt and mess in domestic spaces. They engage in battles to clean the kitchen, a nursery, and even tackle Mount Wash-ington, a pile of laundry. Each jingle captures the essence of teamwork and determination, demonstrating the importance of cleanliness and the effective use of Borax. Throughout their journey, the mules celebrate victories with camaraderie, providing a charming and educational narrative that emphasizes the joy of keeping a home clean. The story wraps up with a cheer for both the mules and Borax, reinforcing the book's lighthearted and instructive theme. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
