Splish, splash! It’s time for Baby’s bath in this interactive Karen Katz lift-the-flap board book that’s all about fun in the tub!

What’s behind the bath bottles?

What’s inside the bucket? Is it Baby’s soap?
No, that’s a little tugboat! Toot-toot!

In this interactive book from Karen Katz, little ones can play with sturdy, easy-to-lift flaps on each page to reveal all the things in Baby’s bathtub. Filled with bright, striking art and multicultural babies, this book is sure to make even the most reluctant of bathers hop into the tub.

2021 - Cute way to teach that bath time can be fun 🤩

March 2022 - I had fun reading this to Madison! She will be taking her first bath in a regular tub soon and I can’t wait to see her splash around!

This is a HUGE hit with my grandson who is a year and half. I got it out of the Amazon box this morning around 9:00...it is now 10:00 am and we have read it so many times that I have lost count. I try to get him interested in something else or another book but he comes back with this one. The illustrations are simple and the flaps are sturdy and large for little hands.

This one gets more stars than I’d normally give these books just because it’s got some diversity.

My kiddo loves it, more for the flaps than any of the content.

I had lots of fun reading this book with Momma. I like to splash in my baby tub and hope I’ll have fun in the big tub soon!

El liked finding the rubber duckies in the bath. I know these books get abused in library circulation, but while taping a flap back on, someone taped the last two pages together! El would have wanted to see the baby behind the towel. Seeing the baby at the end is always the best part.
