5.1

out of 7

5.0

“The story starts with a rhyme that trips off the tongue so naturally that it catches you off guard that it’s not a rhyming book. But after you figure that out, you can enjoy the poetic, but not rhyming, style of the story that makes quite an adventure of bath time. The cut paper illustrations are original and terrific.”
