This book is for kids who like to learn. Have you been wondering why the drain sounds funny when you let the water out every time you take a bath? Are you thinking about why that does it? This book tells you about bathtime questions.

My favourite part is about the rubber duckie. He moves his face and I think he talks too. And I like how he shows off his teeth.

Rated and reviewed by Dylan, age 8.

I love how the book goes into details about many different animals and how they clean themsleves. It goes into how and why we brush our teeth. I love how it explains what happens when we flush the pody. This book explains so much about so many different subjects. There are many different questions that children ponder about.

39 months - pretty good as a basic introduction to some science concepts.
