A young penguin enumerates in rhyme the toys required at bath time ("And what's a bath / without a whale? / Why, boring as can be"). Readers will likely see the punch line coming for miles--the toys leave no room for the bather--but the pages swelling with textured, charcoal-outlined playthings make this a joyful and eye-pleasing if slight addition to the kiddie-bath-book canon.
