Bookroo's summary

Four muddy little bears face their biggest challenge yet: bath time. Despite Big Brown Bear's efforts to scrub them clean, they refuse to enter the tub. Will these playful bears overcome their fear of water, or will they remain dirty forever? Dive into this delightful rhyming tale to discover if the bears' antics lead to a splashy resolution.

From the publisher

Splish! Splash! Sploosh! The adorable stars of Bears on Chairs and Bears in Beds are back, and they’re ready for bath time. Or are they?

Water, soap, and sponge are there. The bath is ready. Where are the bears?

The four little bears are grimy, dirty, and covered in mud! But when they see the bath and Big Brown Bear ready to scrub, they back away. “We don’t want a bath,” they say. Will those grungy bears ever get in the tub? Whether bath time’s a favorite time of day or a fraught one, this fun-to-read rhyming story and the silly antics of impossibly cute bears will make a splash with toddlers and parents alike.
