Who is in the bath?
One morning Dulcie goes into the bathroom and sees a shark fin in last nights bath water. When her parents don't believe her she goes back to fish it out. But what pops out isn't just one shark ... it's a whole family ... and they are hungry! Trying to distract them, Dulcie suggests they play a game of teeth-brushing. And hair-washing. And toilet-paper-wrapping. They all have a fantastic time playing and making more and more mess while Dulcie tries to stop the sharks from eating her. Until there is a knock on the bathroom door and dad want's to come in! Ooh Oh!
A humorous story with lots of made-up bathroom games and rhyming words . Showing just how much fun you can have in your bath with a bit of imagination. There is quite a lot of text making it a good read-aloud, though it might not be a good idea to read it just before bath time!!!!!
With bright, bold sharky illustrations there are so many crazy sea-creature antics to spot on the pages. The illustrations themselves tell a great story.The front and back end papers are gorgeous, giving a 'before' and 'after' ocean-view snapshot of the story.
A fun read-aloud. Full of action and silliness and great for getting children to predict what is going to happen next.
I got my copy of There's a Shark in the Bath from the Taradale Primary School library where I work.
You can find a copy at Napier Libraries.
