Illustrated by
Pascale Constantin.
When a duck, dolphin, and other animals take over his tub, Willy can't take a bath. A fairly unimaginative and repetitive rhyming narrative relates Mom's off-stage pleas and Willy's excuses, while the playful illustrations show that the animals are really bath toys. The pages include nested flaps that gradually lengthen then become progressively shorter as animals are added then put away.
