Great for children's who don't want to have a bath !

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. The text is okay, but I am absolutely in love with the pictures of these dirty little heathen children. They look like they have been up to filthy mischief all day and I am totally on board.

Fun read aloud for storytime. Used with ages 0-3 along with a maraca to emphasize the repetition in the text. That really caught the kiddos attention and they loved it. We also pointed out our body parts as we read about them in the story.

First sentence: Today we had such fun! fun! fun! But now the day is done! done! done! You're so full of dirt! dirt! dirt! Take off your pants and shirt! shirt! shirt!

Premise/plot: Who's ready for BATH TIME?!

My thoughts: I really enjoyed this one. I wish my library had Douglas Florian's Play! Play! Play! I'd love to compare these two. If the children in Bath! Bath! Bath! are the same children in Play! Play! Play! I bet they play hard. These kids are happy and filthy--absolutely filthy. The good news is that bath time is an extension of play time as far as they are concerned. Baths are FUN.

We recently read the similar book, Play! Play! Play! by the same author and I was delighted to see more offerings from him - especially this one about taking a bath! My toddler absolutely loves his tubby time so I really enjoyed reading him this whimsical book about bath time. The rhymes and rhythm are very upbeat and playful and make this a really fun book to share! We checked this out from the library but I definitely want to get a copy for our own!

This book was first passed down to Lexie by my husband’s cousin. I’m very grateful to them because I would have never heard of this book otherwise! Lexie has loved this since she was 1 year old. When she got a little older, she would repeat the words after me. This series is definitely still one of her favourites. Have since purchased Play Play Play and Brush Brush Brush, and intend to buy Bath Bath Bath too!

I loooooove bath time! And now it’s even better when mama reads this book beforehand. She thinks the book is perfect too but giggles after the duck goes quack quack quack! And clean your arms and back back back! She needs to work on her “b” pronunciation, sounds more like a, “cr”… - Maren, 4 months

I adore this book! The cute diverse toddlers have gotten dirty and now it is bath time. Each page has a word repeated three times like "dirt, dirt, dirt" that should help hold the interest of little ones. A great choice for Baby Storytimes.

It's time to wash off all the grime of the day in this celebration of a nightly (or *ahem* bi-nightly) routine. Lots of sibling pairs are helping each other take a bath but no adults are shown.

Like its cousin, Brush, Brush, Brush, this is a fun and educational book about the process of taking a bath. The illustrations are whimsical, the rhymes are good, and the real star is the repetition: three times in a row for key words. Will really help the concepts stick for little ones.

Getting clean has never been more fun! Babies and toddlers will love the rhyming and repetition in this short and sweet board book. Reviewer #1

My daughter really enjoyed this one! We enjoyed looking at the pictures as well.

[Leah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute illustrations plus rhyming and simple language make this book good storytime fodder. Sure wish it was a bigger format for a crowd!

[Angela De Groot · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun to read out loud board book. Love the artwork.

[Angie Quantrell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple, adorable and sure to be a bath time hit with the younger crowd!

[Dawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't realize DF was doing board books! I just wish this one was waterproof so you can take it in the bath.

[Vivian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Florian's poetry is spot-on for little ones. This one is filled with repetition and fun that any child can relate to.

[Heather Delgado · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute use of word repetition.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really cute - reads like a chant with the last word of each line repeated thrice. The kids in the pictures are expressive and fun (and diverse); the illustrations convey a lot of energy.

[Meredith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Children take a bath at the end of the day.

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book would be a great one for a baby or toddler storytime about bathtime. I could see families using this to lead into bathtime too. The rhyming text that repeats begs to be put to a tune.

Six month old baby loves to read it at the end of the day and great sing aloud rhyme for bath time.

The rhymes and body parts named in this book really have helped when struggling over bath time here.
