In this thoroughly entertaining and educational tale, a little girl who is taking a bath learns about the
swimming habits of several mammals. These mammals, including armadillos, giraffes, polar bears, and
wombats, join her in the tub (well, not really) for a bath she will never forget!

The story is illustrated by Anthony Alex LeTourneau and Thomas H. Boné. We have carefully and
skillfully reversed the traditional format of illustrations. We have provided realistic, pastel drawings of
animals swimming in their natural environments and juxtaposed them with computer animated
illustrations of those same animals swimming in the tub. We are very proud of this unique approach,
and we are certain your children, grandchildren, and students will love it!

The last five pages of the book offer additional learning opportunities for young readers. Activities and
questions provide lots of educational enjoyment!
