review 1: You have to be a crafty mom to outwit a little pig that does not want to take a bath. Momma is up for this challenge. Each time her son tries on a new persona she is right there with plausible reasoning on why her son might not want to be a pirate or cowboy or an astronaut. That is until she outfoxes her little man by letting him believe that he is right and that underwater treasure hunters do not need to take baths.This is a perfect book for parents to keep at hand when bath time becomes an issue.
review 2: This book is a cute book about a little pig that does not want to take a bath. He instead says all of the things that he is and the reasons that those people do not take baths. These people include a pirate, a cowboy, an eskimo, a knight and a few other.
... moreHowever every time the younger pig states why they do not bath, the older one tells the younger one why he is not that person. For example, pirates get sea sick so the little pig cannot be a pirate. I think that this book is fun and entertaining for a younger audience. The illustrations are also very cute and clever and aimed towards younger individuals. This book could be used when teaching kids proper hygiene, and how to make bath time fun. less
