Scaredy Bath

Description

A gorgeous bubble-filled ode to bath-time chaos, as seen from the bath's point of view. From the inimitable Zoe Foster Blake, author of the bestselling No One Likes a Fart. Bath-time is fun! There's the bubbles, the bath toys and lots of splashing of course. But have you ever wondered what it's like for the bath? Scaredy Bath does not like bath time . . . the piping hot water, the gooey muck and especially not the small boisterous grubby ones that shout and splash and make Scaredy all mucky! What's a bath to do? Will Scaredy Bath ever enjoy bath time? Scaredy Bath is a delightful new addition to Zoe's much-loved brand of picture books that celebrate the ups and downs of family life. Joyously brought to life by the hilarious splash-filled illustrations of Daniel Gray-Barnett. 'Funny, imaginative, and subversive - sure to be a read-aloud favorite.' Kirkus Reviews 'Foster Blake has a talent for finding the unexpected in the unexceptional (bath time, bedtime, burps and farts).' Sydney Morning Herald 'Original, well-written, and hilarious.'
