About This Book
King Bidgood's in the Bathtub is a beloved Caldecott Honor picture book that tells the delightfully absurd story of a king who decides his royal duties can wait because he's having too much fun in the tub. His entire court, from the Knight to the Duchess, attempts increasingly elaborate and comical schemes to coax him out so he can rule. This book is perfect for children aged 3-7, offering a playful exploration of stubbornness, responsibility, and creative problem-solving. The engaging narrative and vibrant illustrations make it a fantastic read-aloud, and this special edition includes a CD with original songs to enhance the experience.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of this Caldecott Honor favorite--the story of an unruly king who refuses to leave his bathtub and rule his kingdom--this new edition comes with a CD with six original songs ranging in style from a minuet to rap. Full color. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
