How Do You Take a Bath?

(4) PS Illustrated by Sydney Hanson. Through simple rhyming facts about animals' grooming habits ("Polar bear scrubs her face with snow"), children are encouraged to bathe: "How do YOU take a bath? Do you lick from head to toe...?" Approachable mixed-media illustrations in soft pastel hues demonstrate the similarities and differences. The lack of distinction between bathing and other grooming habits and behaviors ("Pig wallows in the mud...") is somewhat confusing.
