My two year old loves this book, we have to read it every night. She loves the bright pictures and the rhymes. She really gets the concept of it being the boys imagination and she likes finding the "real" bath stuff in the pictures as well. This author and illustrator also teemed up for Starry Safari which we read right after this one.

This is an inventive and poetic story about an underwater sea adventure. Though it is meant for young children, the book features some relatively complex vocabulary ("a kelpy haze," "cleaner wrasse", "dabs" (type of fish), etc.). The rhythm of the story sounds so good and the pictures are so fun to look at that kids won't care if they don't understand every word, but this book might also be a whimsical way to expand a young child's marine vocabulary.
