This is the most adorable book about bath time! I love all the illustrations and I think this would be a wonderful starter board book for kids.

This is a fun book for kids. My child loved all eights animals and the colors are fun and vibrant. This book would be easy for young kids to read.

This is a very short, but cute book, perfect for bathtime. The book shows eight different animals in the tub doing what that particular animal does. The illustrations show stylized animals in bright, vivid colours with one sentence per page. Some of the text is: Sea Otters soaking in the shallows, Beavers bathing in the bay and so on. There was a lot of vocabulary that had to be explained to my 3 year old granddaughter, but she still loved the book. My 6 year old grandson read it to me with some assistance with unfamiliar words. We liked this one and I recommend it to families. A great story to read before or after bathtime.

Thanks to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. A very cute picture book for infants and toddlers. It is bath time and all the animals in the tub are toys. The drawings are really cute and colorful, and the simple narrative begins to teach alliteration. This is certainly a book you can read to your little ones and know that they will like the bright colors and easy narrative of the book.

This board book is adorable. It’s a simple book, but the way the author uses her adjectives and the color and feel of the illustrations are great.

What makes bath time fun for baby? Bath toys! From parading penguins and splashing seals to frolicking frogs and bathing beavers, these joyful animal toys are ready to play. Join the splashy party in the tub...you may even get wet too!

A engaging board book, the colours are sure to capture the eye of little bath time resisters. The illustrations are full of action, and the colouring is bright without being loud. And at the end, they bring it all together in one big splash!

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very simple book with simple text and very colorful pictures. This is great as a board book for very young readers. I wouldn't recommend it for any children looking for a more involved story.

This is a cute little book for babies that actually features some fairly advanced vocabulary words. Each animal bath toy is accompanied by some action words and alliterative nouns.

The illustrations are really cute, and the concept works. But I do have one issue. This is supposed to teach alliteration, and it does... for the most part. One exception is "sea otters soaking in the shallows". Just because "shallows" begins with the same letter doesn't make it alliterative. (Unfortunately, "sea" was already used at the beginning of the book. Perhaps "spray" could be worked in as an alternative?)

Other than that, though, this is pretty strong. The bath toys are cute, and there are lots of nice words to expose young listeners to.

I present Baby Storytime every week so I am always looking for new board books to share. This is a cute concept and the text is simple. The illustrations are bright and colorful. However, I really appreciate a board book that has photographs because babies can see what these animals actually look like.

Bath Time! by Eric Walters and Christine Battuz is a cute bath time storybook for babys. The text on each page is catchy and lyrical. The illustrations are bright and colorful and display happy animals.

This type of book is perfect to read to babies to make bath time fun. I love how all the animals portrayed in the beginning and body of the book are all toy animals for the baby in the bathtub at the end of the book. Super cute!!
