5.0 out of 5 stars Andrew's Bath - The Ultimate Bedtime, Bathtime, Anytime Book, September 8, 2000

This review is from: Andrew's Bath (Paperback)

I was sorry to see that this wonderful book is out of print. My two-year-old daughter and I were fortunate enough to have stumbled upon it in our local library, and have kind of "adopted" it ever since! It's a gem of a book -- truly humorous both in the plot and the irresistable, subtle details throughout. My daughter relishes the dynamic between the animals who join Andrew in his bath, and she continues to laugh out loud as the hippo tries desperately to get a bite of Andrew's sandwich, already claimed by the rascally frog. An ace of a book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Delight, June 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Andrew's Bath (Paperback)

When my daughter and I first started reading books together this was one she consistently turned to. It became an every-night ritual to read this and laugh out loud at Andrew and his antics. Every parent can identify with poor Andrews parents and every kid can imagine his frustration. A must have for a childs personal library.

My 4 year old daughter loves this book. We too stumbled across it at the library. She saw the cover and insisted we check it out. When I started reading it my daughter, she couldn't stop laughing. We have only had it for two days and I've must have read it about twenty times. Now when I give her a bath we recite lines from the book. Wish it was still in print.
