A cake batter–smeared little boy is marched to the bathtub--and an adventure begins. He finds himself surrounded by fish, then he follows a treasure map and discovers a treasure chest (it's stuffed with soap, and the sea creatures give the boy a cleaning). Readers will stick with this fantasy, whose well-composed and fine-tuned oil-paint illustrations ably tell the wordless book's story.
