Bookroo's summary
Join a playful journey as a child explores how animals like elephants, pigs, and chickens take baths. From mud baths to dust showers, each creature has its unique way of getting clean. With charming rhymes and delightful illustrations, watch as the child humorously mimics these animal antics before finally finding their way to a real bathtub. Will they stick to the animal methods, or embrace the human way of bathing? Dive into this whimsical adventure to find out!
From the publisher
Perfect for fans of Five Little Monkeys Jump in the Bath, this fun and educational picture book brings together adorable baby animals and bathtime.
How do YOU take a bath?
Does your mama comb your fur?
Do you shake off all your dirt?
Do you splash and flap and quack?
Do the birdies peck your back?
No!
Follow elephants, pigs, monkeys, hippos, and more in this charming rhyming picture book from veteran author Kate McMullan. How does a pig take a bath? It sinks in the mud! What about a chicken? It thrashes about in dust! And a cat? Why, it licks itself clean, of course! Sydney Hanson’s adorable illustrations toggle neatly between animals in nature grooming themselves and humorous depictions of children attempting the animals’ bathing tactics. By the end of the book, the child finally makes his way to the bathtub, no mud baths or lick baths about it!
