Tiny's Bath

Viking Easy-to-Read

by Cari Meister, Rich Davis (Illustrator)

Tiny is a very big dog who loves to dig. When he gets dirty, the only bathtub big enough is the kiddy pool.

Soon he's back in the dirt, and this time he takes his owner with him! Tiny's Bath, written at the very first level of easy readers, is ideal for early readers.

The brief sentences, repetitive phrases, and important visual clues within the illustrations help readers along while keeping them entertained. Predictability, simple vocabulary, and colorful, expressive illustrations combine to build children's reading confidence.

Genres: Picture Books, Childrens, Animals, Dogs, Pets

Reviews

This is a level 1 easy to read book that is great for pre school/ kindergarten age kids.... there are more then just book in the series. This book is very repetitive for little ones to become familiar with the words.

Tiny is a big dog. When he gets dirty and needs a bath, his human tries everything before putting him in the pool as it's the only thing big enough for Tiny.
It's very simple reading, good for kids just learning to read.

[TJE]

Solid option for a low level book (0.6) with cute characters and relationship btwn boy and dog. Text isn't as friendly as it could be for beginning readers (small font) and illustrations aren't super vivid. T enjoyed and wanted to read more from this series but wasn't a huge hit.

[Gail]

Repetition of words and phrases. Could "think aloud" the characters' thoughts. Good title for first grade book clubs.

[Samantha]

My son loved this book!

[Laura]

[Ian Camacho]

Did they copy Clifford?

[Ranette]

Tiny is a large dog that needs a bath. Where will he get it? Easy reader.

Oversaw my 5 yr. old granddaughter while she read it out loud. Tiny was in the mud.

This looked like a cute book about giving a dog a bath and it is. Sadly, though, our girls are getting a bit too old for these easy reader books, so occasionally I get the eye when I bring one home from the library. Still, they were fairly game for this book and we even took turns reading aloud. It's a short story, with humorous illustrations and some repetition to help beginning readers. We enjoyed reading this book together, but I suspect that we won't be reading books like this for much longer.
