Illustrated by
Tom Jellett.
When Bruno tries to take a bath, he finds a whale already bathing in the tub. Bruno makes a valiant effort to alert his family to the whale situation, but no one believes him. The purposefully cluttered digital illustrations highlight the absurdity of the problem--the whale is too big to fit on the page--and the understated text will resonate with young reluctant bathers.
