Rub-a-Dub...BUGS!
Books in the bathtub? Yes, please! While your little one scrubs off the day, let them lather on some science simultaneously! In this adorable bath book, kids will learn about insects and bugs in all shapes and sizes with amazing, colour-changing illustrations. Just dip the pages in water (How could you not? You're in the tub!) and watch insects, life-cycles, habitats, and more come to life before your very eyes. And what's even more magical, when the book dries, the artwork disappears! Kids will beg to take the plunge again and again, practicing reading while learning about nature's most interesting bugs on the pages of this squishy, vinyl bath book. And parents will love that its easily cleaned with a soapy cloth, ready for repeat readings!

Review :
The novel feature of this bath book is the color-changing special effect that's activated when the book gets wet. Little ones can dunk the book or rub a damp finger over white sections on the pages to make a titanosaur, a pterodactyl, a plesiosaurus, and more emerge. The most satisfying reveal occurs on the final page where dinosaur fossils appear as if they have been excavated. The text discusses diet, key traits, and the extinction of dinosaurs. Companion titles include Let's Learn About Bugs and Let's Learn About Colors.
