Arnold, Marsha Diane: Baby Animals Take a Bath

It's bath time in the animal kingdom!

Meet eight little critters from around the world as they clean up, each in their own way. From plunging through a snowdrift to steaming in a hot spring, lyrically simple text and charming painted illustrations introduce little listeners to a world of hygiene. And of course, everyone will recognize the surprise ninth entry at the end! A list at the back of the book gives the names of each baby animal in the order they appear.
