Tubby

Hooray! SPLASH! Leslie Patricelli’s beloved Baby is back!

It’s time for a bath! Whee! And Baby obliges as only he can, playing with bubbles (and using them to make facial disguises from Santa’s beard to bunny ears), imitating a motorboat, and letting Mommy wash his single hair. And what would tubby time be without running away naked and shiny clean—only to be scooped up and tickled? A beloved bedtime ritual takes on new joy in Leslie Patricelli’s bright artwork, exuberant language, and simple, familiar scenes.Celebrates the joyous ritual in which the bathee jettisons the diaper and streaks to the tub to sculpt bubbles, practice swimming, play motorboat, count rubber duckies and toes, and, incidentally, get cleaned up
