DESCRIPTION

From the author of No One Likes a Fart comes a hilarious, bubble-filled picture book that highlights the chaos and comfort of bath time.

Who doesn't love bath time? The shiny bubbles, the fun bath toys, and, of course, the big splashes! But have you ever wondered what it's like for the bathtub?

Scaredy Bath cannot stand bath time. It thinks the water is too hot, the kids are too loud, and its once-polished inside is now way too dirty! Is there a way for Scaredy Bath to enjoy this daily ritual as much as everyone else in the family?

With delightfully clever text from Zoë Foster Blake and joyous illustrations from Daniel Gray-Barnett, Scaredy Bath celebrates the ups and downs of family life.
