Reviews

"The illustrations are very appealing, with the happily cartoonish characters infused with rich, warm colors that are full of depth and dimension. Sloppy's caring and helpful nature is contagious, and the innocence of this picture book for young children is refreshing."-- "School Library Journal"
Just the ticket for allaying incipient ablutophobia. -- "Kirkus Reviews"
In a clever visual spread, the pond is shown in cutaway side view, including a plug on a chain, prompting children to make a direct connection to their own bathtubs. --Lucinda Whitehurst "Booklist"
This is such a wonderful book to read to young children to help them understand that it is OK to be afraid to try something new but being brave can also lead to new and exciting experiences.--Katrina Yurenka "Youth Services Book Review"
