King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood

This is another book that is illustrated Don Wood. This book is great for showing children what a King’s palace would look like and how they would dress. The illustrations are very detailed and make the pages come alive. The king will not get out of the bathtub so each of the characters in the book try to get him out by telling him there are important things going on in the community which he needs to attend to. He tells them that their problems will have to come to him because he is not getting out of the bathtub today. They battle, eat, fish, and dance in the tub while none of them are able to get him out of the tub. Finally the page shows he knows how to get the King out of the tub by pulling the plug. If you re-read this book you notice that the page has been in all the illustrations and has shown his annoyance that the king will not get out of the tub! The illustrations could spark conversation with children that would last for a long time!
