Tub-boo-boo

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Glin Dibley. When Henry gets his toe stuck in the tub faucet, a parade of family members, a police officer, and a plumber suffer the same fate while trying to rescue him. Rhythmic, alliterative text and repetition of the silly title successfully shape this cumulative tale, which is awkwardly wrapped in an artificial news bulletin format. Stylized illustrations of the tangle of rubberlike limbs in the bathtub add humor.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
