Description

In this funny bath-time story, a stubborn king refuses to leave his bathtub. After all, why should he? He can dance, sing, fish, play, and even eat in his wonderful tub. 

One by one, the Knight, the Queen, the Duke—and eventually all the members of the King's Court—try to persuade King Bidgood to leave his sumptuous bath. No luck!

Why the King finally leaves his bath makes for a delightful surprise ending to this delightful tale.

"A humorously original tale. A voluptuous book." — School Library Journal

“Beauty aside, this also has a panache and sly wit that will please children and their parents, who will be called on to peruse the book again and again.” — Booklist
