Editorial Reviews
The Goodfather
The story starts with a rhyme that trips off the tongue so naturally that it catches you off guard that it’s not a rhyming book. But after you figure that out, you can enjoy the poetic, but not rhyming, style of the story that makes quite an adventure of bath time. The cut paper illustrations are original and terrific.
The Book Snob Mom
Gorgeous illustrations, and fun bathtime adventure showcasing the joy imagination brings to every childhood activity.
Unwrapping Some Illustrations for
You
The Book
This delightful book has gorgeous illustrations that are vibrant and colourful. They were created by using oil and acrylic paint with cut paper collage, markers and gel pens. The book is by Children's Literature Legacy Award-winning author Nikki Grimes and acclaimed illustrator Elizabeth Zunon. Together they have created a wondrous bath time adventure story that will tickle imaginations of kids everywhere.
The faucet morphs into a waterfall, the bathroom floor is a distant shore and toy boats sail the seven seas. Both mother and child take part in the adventure and after the little one has been scrubbed clean both dad and mom whisk the child off to bed to be read to sleep. The vibe of the book is happy and very family oriented. I highly recommend it.
