Estelle Takes a Bath

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma. One snowy night, a mouse sneaks into Estelle's house while she's immersed in the tub. Esbaum's faultless rhymes track Estelle's in-the-buff pursuit of the varmint--until "The mouse choked and spluttered and paddled and coughed, / and Estelle felt her mouse-hating heart going...soft?" DePalma scores points for the cozy atmosphere and the decency-preserving placement of bubbles and other inanimate objects.
