Description

Max loves having a bath! He plays with all his toys in the tub, and tries to make a very reluctant Dog join in the fun. This charming little book is full of drama, fun and humour. Max is an independent little character, bursting with energy and ideas. Young readers will be thrilled by his everyday play and his friendship with the faithful, but not always willing, Dog. This is a wonderful first book for toddlers. The author is perfectly attuned to play world of children and the illustrator captures all the delight and frustration of Max's bath time adventures: splashing about, submerging every toy including his cookieu in the water and generally having as much fun as possible! Barbro Lindgren's simple, but engaging text is accompanied by witty illustrations from her long-time collaborator, Eva Eriksson.
