A lively look at bath time around the world.

Explore bathing practices in different countries and cultures in this lively, colorful picture book.

From a hammam in Turkey to a maqii on the Alaskan tundra, this book shares the bath-time battle that happens every night around the world. "Yes, yes!" say the grown-ups, "No, no!" say the children, and the chase is on! Bath time may take many forms, but it's a ritual we all share.

"Bradford's picture book makes a splash with its lighthearted, global perspective on the ritual of bathing. "No, no!" squeal the children: "Yes, yes," insist the adults in English, Japanese, Hindi, and a sprinkling of other languages. . . .Parents and children will enjoy incorporating the linguistic variations into their own bath-time practices." —Booklist

Praise for Around the World in a Bathtub

Praise for WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY BED? (Bradford)

  • "This lively picture book offers a great way to talk to kids about history: not the statesmen and generals but the lives of ordinary people at home."--Booklist

    • Praise for DANIEL FINDS A POEM (Archer)
  • "Rich, multilayered collages illuminate a celebration of nature's beauty."--Publishers Weekly
