Illustrated by
Ken Wilson-Max.
In this board book edition, O'Connell's simple words ("The baby goes Splash / The baby goes Splash Splash Splash Splash") and Wilson-Max's bright, bold illustrations still have the power to attract readers. Those familiar with the original, however, will miss the sixteen omitted pages and will find this version a bit choppy.
