It has taken a long time for a paperback publisher to take the plunge with this splendid book wherein we share a real and imagined bath-time sequence with a little girl and her mother. While mum talks at her daughter with such comments as 'This was clean on this morning and look at it now', Shirley is somewhere entirely different as we see in the brighter than life illustrations on the right hand page of each spread. This juxtaposition of real and imagined can be enjoyed by all ages but at different levels. A must!
