The Fish Is Me: Bathtime Rhymes

(3) PS Illustrated by Claire Henley. This is a delightful collection of poems about bathtime by American, British, and Caribbean poets. The poems range from the traditional ("Miss Susie Had a Baby") to more contemporary ("Granny Granny, Please Comb My Hair"). Many feature childlike imagery, such as the comparison of a bathtub to an aquarium in "The Tub." Henley's bright illustrations are appropriate for the intended age group.
