Binding was coming apart and definitely more used than described. However this is one of the best children’s books!Great book! The story, the art work all come together to make my grandson laugh!Among the best children's books that I know. I'ts about bath time, GREAT fun, and both the language and drawings are superb. I've shared it with three children over the course of a decade. BUY IT!I had red this book to kids at school and they have lived it so I bought it for my 3 year old twins. both of them live it, too.My three-year-old adores this story, it is one of her favorites. It has stood the test of time. For a parent looking for a new special book for your little reader, I totally suggest you try this! Funny, engaging, imaginative. So glad I got this, it is worth the wait (slow shipping).Fun, fun, fun. Hilarious imaginative story to read to young children.Bought the book for my grandson, he loved the illustrations.This is a great book with repeated lines and animal vocabulary. It is great to use as a literacy activity with young children. They can say the repeated lines and identify the animals as they are dropped into the tub. The pictures are colorful and lively,as is the story!I ordered this book before we went away for a couple of nights so I could grab my kindle rather than several books. My 4 year old (now 5) loved it and still does. She loves to read it now and "guess " who is coming next. Even my 8 year old snuggled in to listen and joined in with the guessing. Both of them hooting with laughter. It is not a book I would have necessarily chosen, but we loved it.This is a great book, my little boy who’s 4 really loves playing detective and figuring out where all the inspiration came from!!Loved this book when I bought it for my own children and I now buy it when my friends have their babies. It is very colourful with good rhyming. Lots of fun. Wonderful book.What a lovely book. My grand daughter absolutely loves it.A great book to have fun with a toddler. Our little one loves all the poetry and illustrations.
