In terms of a going-to-bed book, this is alright. It's written in verse, and there are a few lines that don't quite scan, which kind of ruins the whole lulling-a-kid-to-sleep thing, but you can kind of work around them. Also, when they list the body-parts ("then Mama washes Mimi's fingers, hand and nails..." etc), they clump everything together, which is lame when you're pointing to the different parts (Fingers, hands and nails? Seriously? They're all on the hand! I know this seems petty, but when you read it every week, sometimes three times in a row, these things start to bug you.) However, I think it's pretty cool that they made it a bath-friendly book, so you could read it to your kid in the bath before bed. And at least it's not Sleepy Dog.

Nice rhyming book. A fun, quick read before bed. My two year old asks for it often!

Easy quick reader and bathtub safe. Good to point to body parts, though they tend to clump them all together.
