Bookroo's summary

In the midst of bath time adventures, a wooden toy family faces a crisis when the Tub Child nearly slips down the drain. As they race to save him, their unity and spirit are tested. Can they overcome the watery peril and reunite safely on the warm quilt mountains? Join the Tub People in a tale of courage and camaraderie.

From the publisher

Meet the Tub People - the father, the mother, the grandmother, the doctors, the policeman, the child and the dog. Each day they stand in a line on the edge of the bathtub. Until one evening, when the child is in danger and the Tub People must come together…only their unsinkable spirits can save the day.
