This bubbly book of bathtime verse is a must for every waterbaby. Neil Philip’s joyous compilation for the very young features traditional rhymes as well as contemporary selections. Even kids who hate taking baths will be reaching for their rubber duckies and washcloths, inspired by the words of such poets as Carl Sandburg, Aileen Fisher, and Douglas Florian. Bright, colorful illustrations by Claire Henley perfectly complement the poems’ delightful silliness.
