Review

A young boy lists all of the reasons he will NOT take a bath. Everyone and everything is dirtier than he is. The soap is the wrong color. He is allergic to water. The moon might fall down. The list goes on and on until he finally gets into the tub and has 102 reasons why he will NOT get out. Illustrations are colorful and fun. Children will enjoy watching the young boy go through his excuses--and counting them all. Many of them may even identify with his dislike of baths. All in all, not a spectacular offering, but really an enjoyable hoot to read.

Overall Book Score: good
