A voluptuous book."-- School Library Journal, Grade 1-4 In this humorously original tale, various members of the Court, all clothed in elaborate Elizabethan dress, try to dislodge the King from his bubbly tub. Instead they are drawn into it with him, to "do battle" with toy ships and warriors; to eat a lavish feast; to fish and to dance. It is the young page who finds a solution, finally, by pulling the plug. Much of the delight is in Don Wood's meticulous oil paintings, which juxtapose the starched, overdressed, "shocked" demeanor of the Court with the King's twinkling, sensual, even lascivious manner. Minute details in the paintings emphasize this contrast; the red-haired naked King frolics while the fully-clothed courtiers emerge dripping from the bath with literally all their starch taken out. A voluptuous book whose rich range of colors and tones reflect the passing hours of the day. As in the Woods' Napping House (HBJ, 1984), the few simple words of text per large, well-designed page invite storytellingbut keep the group very small, so the children can be close enough to pore over the brilliant, robust illustrations.

Synopsis
In this delightful story, the king refuses to leave his bathtub and rule the kingdom. "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, 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. Award-winning author Audrey Wood and her husband, artist Don Wood, created this classic picture book that continues to amuse and entrance children of all ages. This book has won the following awards: Caldecott Honor Book American Library Association Notable Book School Library Journal Best Book of the Year

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
