Bears in the Bath (Bears on Chairs)

by Parenteau Shirley and Walker David

David M. Walker (Illustrator)

Splish! Splash! Sploosh! The adorable stars of Bears on Chairs and Bears in Beds are back, and they’re ready for bath time. Or are they?

Water, soap, and sponge are there. The bath is ready. Where are the bears?

The four little bears are grimy, dirty, and covered in mud! But when they see the bath and Big Brown Bear ready to scrub, they back away. "We don’t want a bath," they say. Will those grungy bears ever get in the tub? Whether bath time’s a favorite time of day or a fraught one, this fun-to-read rhyming story and the silly antics of impossibly cute bears will make a splash with toddlers and parents alike.

As soon as I heard that [a:Shirley Parenteau|672884|Shirley Parenteau|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1392957019p2/672884.jpg] and [a:David Walker|7267112|David Walker|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1467307794p2/7267112.jpg] had a new Bears book coming out, I preordered it. We love [b:Bears on Chairs|6543234|Bears on Chairs|Shirley Parenteau|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320454635l/6543234._SX50_.jpg|6735495] and also enjoy [b:Bears in Beds|13531019|Bears in Beds|Shirley Parenteau|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1333579095l/13531019._SX50_.jpg|19092687] and find that while a bit silly, [b:Bears in the Bath|18209404|Bears in the Bath|Shirley Parenteau|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1382741529l/18209404._SX50_.jpg|25630192] is right up there with the others with the beautiful illustrations and fun rhymes and predictability that leads toward a re-read over and over again. We have the second two as picture books, while we own Bears in Chairs as a board book, yet they are all board book worthy.

I sincerely hope that they will continue to partner on more Bears books to come. I love them all! (Just had to also have a conversation about not literally "jumping into the bath". What is okay for bears is not always okay for little humans...)

This was a great purchase!
