Book Description

Made for those two moments in the day when parents and young children spend quality time together, here are two marvelous gifts--two innovative additions to the bestselling BRAIN QUEST series, each combining a single full-color deck with an adorable animal companion.

BRAIN QUEST BATHTIME offers 10 original poems and stories and over 100 questions and answers on the very subjects kids want to talk about while splashing around in the tub with Mom or Dad keeping them company. Is there such a thing as a flying fish? How many legs does an octopus have? Is sea water salty or sweet? There is silly stuff--say "toy boat" five times fast; "Little Scientist"--what would happen to an ice cube if it fell into your warm tub?; and questions about the human body and basic health. The deck is printed on waterproof paper and comes packaged with a yellow terrycloth duck that doubles as a bath mitt (and often appears in the illustrations). See also Brain Quest Bedtime.

I have purchased the My First Brainquest, Preschool Brainquest, Kindergarten Brainquest, and Bathtime Brainquest. This is a typical Brainquest item! I love this series. So far they have all been age appropriate and my 4 yo has learned a lot! My only complaint is that doing these questions before bedtime makes her more talkative and less ready for bed! So now we don't do them right before bed.

This is a great alternative to the regular Brain Quest cards. We have the Brain Quest Preschool cards and my 3 year old knew most of the answers to the questions from the get go. Brain Quest Bedtime has more insightful questions, stories with questions that follow, and some fun filled facts mom didn't even know. Our next purchase will be the Kindergarten cards.

I am a fan of the brain quest books. We have my first, threes, preschool, bathtime and now bedtime. I also have 3 of them for 1st grade, math, and kindergarten waiting for her to grow into.

I just wanted to post that it did not go unnoticed that either this particular edition was changed, or the brain quest publishers are cheaping out on us. The books i have are all nice thick card stock pages, which I liked because I can reasonably expect a 2 and 3 year old to use, and the book would take their clumsy "abuse" (not really abuse, but they ARE little kids.) However this particular edition, the pages are practically like glossy paper. No more card stock. I'm docking one star, and I'm very disappointed. It's only a matter of time before a page gets bent backwards and rips off the post.

Other than that the questions are nicely open ended for discussion, and the bear puppet is too cute, even if it's too small for me to get my hands in. (and I'm a mom, and my hands aren't really even that big, so I guess it's made for the kids to talk back, but still.)
