Big Red Tub


Title: Big Red Tub
Author: Julia Jarman
Illustrator: Adrian Reynolds
Ages:2-5
Rating: 4/5

This is a story about two kids taking a bubble bath when it is made more interesting when animals start joining in the tub!

I read this for my 2year old storytimes, and this is a book that was well received by all three groups. There is good repetition every couple pages, with words that are easy to make fun (Splash, Splash Splash!), and there is a sense of anticipation each time there is a knock at the door (who could it be this time?!)
The story is a bit long for 2's but I shortened the story by about five pages -up until the tub sails twice around the world!

I followed this story up with an action and rhyme activity about bathtime.
