About the Book
Everyone knows that penguins like water. So how about a penguin in a bathtub? First Little Penguin puts in his favorite toys—a beach ball, a plastic porpoise, a squirting spider ring, a rubber shark, and more. But then—uh-oh!—there’s not enough room for him in the tub in this delightful picture book of bubbly rhymes and playful illustrations.

EILEEN SPINELLI, a poet and creative writing teacher, is the author of many novels and picture books for children, including Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch, and the Lizzie Logan books. She lives with her husband, who is also a writer, in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

JANET PEDERSEN is also the illustrator of Baby for Sale about which Kirkus Reviews said: "Pedersen depicts her all-rabbit cast in fine-lined, pale watercolors, capturing both Peter’s irritation and Emily’s innate cuteness to a tee." Janet Pedersen lives in Brooklyn, New York.
 
 


Bath Time


"Bath time can be fun time, especially when you can include all of your favorite floating friends. Mother Penguin points to her watch, indicating that it is time for a bath, and without further prompting, the young penguin is soon scurrying around the house collecting all of the toys and accoutrements necessary for a soapy good time.... Unfortunately, the exuberant penguin realizes that with all of the things now bobbing in the tub, there is no room for him. Illustrations rendered in charcoal with watercolors and gouache feature a happy-go-lucky penguin in his brightly colored environment..... Sure to provide the incentive for wet and wonderful fun."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Delightful watercolor, gouache, and charcoal-pencil drawings add a good measure of personality and whimsy to the story."
—School Library Journal
