Description
Charlie does NOT want to take a bath!
Hi! I’m Charlie, and there is NO WAY I’m having a bath tonight. To be extra safe, I’m keeping this book FAR away from my bathtub. In fact, maybe you should just put it down and walk away.
Whatever you do, do NOT turn the page!
In this hilarious story, readers get to take control. As each page turns, our hero, Charlie, moves all the way from his muddy backyard into his house and closer to the bathtub — protesting every step of the way! Readers will delight in Charlie pleading, cajoling and even trying to trick them into turning back the pages so he can happily play outside again.
Author Jane Blondie brings a fresh spin to this familiar experience — one where kids and their caregivers will delight in getting Charlie to his inevitable end — scrubbed and clean and ready for bed!
