Bath time is Casey's least favorite time of day. He'll do anything to get out of taking a bath... until the Ambrosial Products salesman comes to call. Casey's mom, desperate for help, buys a bottle of soap from the strange little man, and Casey retires glumly to the bathroom. But with the first squirts of green goo into the bath water, bubbles begin to form. When Casey pops them--"Urp lrp lrp brp"... More

Bath time is Casey's least favorite time of day. He'll do anything to get out of taking a bath... until the Ambrosial Products salesman comes to call. Casey's mom, desperate for help, buys a bottle of soap from the strange little man, and Casey retires glumly to the bathroom. But with the first squirts of green goo into the bath water, bubbles begin to form. When Casey pops them--"Urp lrp lrp brp"--comical green creatures appear. Bath time will never be the same! To his mother's perplexed delight, Casey begins spending a lot of time in the tub. He and the mischievous bubble people play hide and seek, build towers and ships, and boogie. When the bottle is empty, the salesman shows up again--but alas! He's out of green goo! However, he does have some purple toothpaste they may be interested in...

This silly, soapy romp will have reluctant tubbers begging for a bath. Cynthia DeFelice's excellent timing and perfect measure of understatement, along with Chris Demarest's goofy cartoonish pictures, capture the sudsy hilarity of this fantasy. Good, clean fun for all. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
