Splish Splash, Baby Bundt by Jamie Harper

Title: Splish Splash, Baby Bundt
Author: Jamie Harper
Reading Level: Baby - Preschool
Board Book: 24 pages
Publisher: Candlewick

Need a recipe for a clean sparkling baby just before bedtime? Look no further. This amusing little board book will tell you how. It begins with a list of ingredients like 1/4 cup of bubble bath, soap, hand mitt, plenty of toys, rubber ducks, towel, powder, sprinkles and so on... And, of course you need a sticky baby. Now, Baby Bundt's big sister helps him with his bath, as they have fun scooping bubbles, floating rubber ducks and fishing toys. Remove the baby when he is all wrinkly, pat him dry and add some sparkles to his pajamas and there you have it. A sparkling baby bundt!!


With the amusing, playful watercolor illustrations, this board book is one of my dd's favorite bath time books. Before we read this book, she runs around the house picking up her doll, a scarf and a rubber duck. She pretends that her doll is sticky, then picks up the scarf, scrunch it all up and scrub the doll from head to toe. The doll happily plays with the rubber ducky and eats scoops of bubbles she offers. When its all over, she adds some imaginary sprinkles and powder. Voila! That's one pretty sparkling doll everyone would love to play with. DD and I always like to read it either just before or right after bath time. She loves to add sprinkles on the pajamas and pretends to scoop up soap bubbles and eat it like an ice cream. This board book will delight your toddlers to no end with its cutesy little pictures!

My Rating: 4/5
