Bobby Babinski’s Bathtub

written by Judy Young

When little Bobby Babinski refuses to take a bath, his father gets to work to make the event more fun. Cutting a hole in the roof of the house, Papa Babinski constructs a massive slippery slide for Bobby to use. And while doing loopity-loops and glippety-glides is great fun, it’s still not enough for Bobby. In order to satisfy the ever-increasing whims of his son, Papa Babinski goes to extreme lengths, including adding a few aquatic critters. Will Bobby ever be satisfied? Will he ever get clean?

Reviews

Midwest Book Review: “When little Bobby Babinski is reluctant to get into his tub at bath time, his father gets to work to make the event more fun. Cutting a hole in the roof of the house, Papa Babinski constructs a massive slippy-slide for Bobby to use. And while doing loopity-loops and glippetyglides is great fun, it’s still not enough for Bobby. Children will roar with hilarity as they read this delightfully rhyming tale! The lengths a father will go to for his child is captured with romping fun in each illustration. Kids will want to hear it again and again. (Ages 5-7)”

San Francisco Book Review: “Author Judy Young has written a perfectly charming story in clever rhyme with a rocking meter. Young readers will be completely engaged by this silly rhymer. The bright and witty illustrations by Kevin M. Barry are the perfect complement to the story. Loaded with imaginative details, the illustrations will keep your little one’s eyes on the pages while they listen. This is a book that kids will ask for over and over.”
