review 1: Leslie Patricelli is extremely well-known for her Baby board book series and this recent addition is one that will be accepted with open arms from old and new fans alike. Centered around the ever popular Baby, the story features that favorite (and least favorite for some) time of day, bath time. Covered in dirt from head to toe by the end of the day it’s about time to get clean, all while having a fun time and trying not to get mom and dad too wet. From funny faces with bubbles to counting duckies on the ledge of the tub, Baby has a wonderful time all while getting squeaky clean!Do you have trouble getting a kiddo in the bath? We do. Most nights the kiddos are extremely excited for that fun time before bedtime when they can play around in the water and get clean from a d... moreay of roughing it up. Well, when it comes down to it, we often have difficulties actually getting them into the tub. Not every time, but it happens…more often than I’d like. It’s all about getting them into the tub, illustrating what exactly it is they have to look forward to and how much better they’ll feel once they’re all finished. Tubby is the perfect helper! By reading it during the day I’ve been able to help Littlebug and Turkeybird prepare for what’s to come so they can really be happy for it; and it definitely works. Not only that, it’s just a really fun book to read.Tubby is a fantastic addition to Leslie Patricelli’s already brilliant library of books; No No Yes Yes being one of our very favorites. This is the perfect book for bedtime as well as for getting kiddos ready for what can sometimes be a difficult thing. There are many reasons that kiddos may have an aversion to bath time, fear of the water being one. With books available to help show them it’s a fun environment where they can feel safe, have a great time and feel better for having taken a bath than we should definitely share them with them. I’d highly recommend this book, not only to those with bath time aversions, but even for a great bedtime book. With illustrations that make both parents and kiddos chuckle, a quirky character and a great lesson to be learned this is the perfect addition to any toddler’s library.
review 2: A very cute book about bath time. The story is complete with naked running, splashing, and crying over shampoo rinsing, which makes it a realistic depiction of the average baby's bath. I also liked how at the very end, the baby says he's clean, but the dog coming into the picture is not. (Side note, I like how the baby in Patricelli's books is genderless, though I think of it as a him). less
