“Wiggle, wiggle go your toes. Off, off, come your clothes.” That can only mean one thing—baby’s ready to splish-splash in the bath! The rhymed text captures an adorable teddy bear as he goes through the entire bath and bedtime ritual: getting soaped, sudsed, washed, rinsed, toweled dry, and tucked in.Synopsis

Children's Literature
Begin Smart's new age-graduated board books help little ones embark on a lifetime of reading pleasure. Recent research links a rich pre-literacy environment to a future love of (and aptitude for) reading. So if you want your babies to grow up to be readers, it's important to share books with them at a tender age. The Begin Smart series starts pretty young—birth to six months—with books full of baby faces and simple words. The next set targets those six months to one year, and so on in six-month increments, to the age of two. Splish-Splash (12 to 18 months) is a charming example of the series' best features. A simple rhyme and bright collage illustrations follow a little bear as he bathes in a bubbly tub and dries off in his mama's snuggly hug. Reviewer: Mary Quattlebaum
