Review
It's time to get out of the bath, but Shirley's not listening. She's floated away to a secret watery land beyond the plughole--to where knights ride white horses and kings and queens float in moats around their castles... "A book that will be enjoyed by busy moms and their escapist children."--Practical Parenting

4.0 out of 5 stars
On the Universal Nature of Baths and Children,
By Ann Azuma (Kobe, Hyogo-ken Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time to Get Out of the Bath, Shirley (Library Binding)
Children and baths are like children and bed: hard to get `em in, and even harder to get `em out. My usual refrain is to come out before they turn into raisins, because they`re too small for prunes. Of course they identify with Shirley. When her mother tells her it`s time to come out it inspires her fantastic journey through the plumbing (we spend the longest time over that illustration,) and her aquatic adventures. No great revelations here, but the idea and whimsical illustrations never fail to captivate my dirty little monkeys of five and seven years of age.
