Editorial Reviews

"The full-page, full-colour illustrations are exquisite. They support the text with vivid colours, while, at the same time, they let the reader know that the scene is imaginary. Elements from reality are cleverly interspersed within the pictures...The text is written in poetic format with the three line stanzas having an AAB rhyme scheme.

Teachers and caregivers can use Bathtime Fun! to talk about poetry and imagination. Young children will enjoy reading the story or having the story read to them. They will be familiar with comforting routines described in the book. Highly Recommended" - CM Magazine, September 2021 issue

"Imagination is the key to bathtime in this adorable book. Adventures await with a tugboat as a favorite bathtime toy. Where will the little tugboat take us tonight? To the rainforest? The jungle? Or a deserted island? With sweet illustrations and lively text, young readers will want to create their own imaginative adventures with just a toy boat...and a bath!" - Bestselling, award-winning children's author, Nancy I. Sanders, who has published over 100 books.
