What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None.
Ideal Reader
A child aged 6 months to 2 years who is developing fine motor skills and an understanding of object permanence. It is also an excellent tool for a toddler who is showing some reluctance or fear around bathtime, as it reframes the experience as a fun and predictable game.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book's concept is immediately understandable. It can be read anytime but is particularly effective as a warm-up for bath, or even during bath (with the understanding that it's a board book, not a waterproof one). A parent is looking for a first interactive book for their baby who has just started grabbing and exploring with their hands. Another trigger is a parent saying, "My one-year-old suddenly screams at bathtime. I need a way to make it positive again."
