Bernadette Pons.
In this sequel to Tickle Tum, a patient mother rabbit uses inventive language ("Scrubba dub dubba / squigga giggle squish") to talk her active young bunny through a bath. A few of the rhymes cloy ("Washy nosie / washy tosies / washy anything / that growsies"), but most are fresh and snappy. Pons's buoyant images capture the affection underneath all of the bubbles.
