Illustrated by
Micha Archer.
Children worldwide react the same way to bathtime, according to this gently humorous and engaging look at different bathing rituals. The familiar scenario--in which a child evades with "No, no!" while a grownup says "Yes, yes!"--is depicted in different languages. From bathhouses in Turkey to hot springs in the Himalayan valleys, Archer's oil-paint and collage illustrations are filled with a homey warmth.
