A WISHING SHELF BOOK REVIEW 4th August 2022 TITLE: David´s Bathtime Adventure AUTHOR: Sue Wickstead Star Rating: 4 'A sweetly illustrated story of a boy having a wonderful adventure - in a bathtub!' The Wishing Shelf REVIEW 'There´s adventure everywhere!' This is the simple message presented in this cleverly written and superbly illustrated picture book. David, a young boy, is having a bath. But he´s determined to make it as exciting as possible. So, he grabs a rubber ring, a snorkel, a fishing net, flippers, and as many toys as he can carry! Let the fun begin... This is a well-written story with simple vocabulary, a little speech, and lots happening on every page. And it´s helped along by wonderfully bright and colourful artwork which adds ´vibrancy´ to the story. I also loved how cleverly it was presented and how sensibly it has been put together. I liked how the illustrations work so well with the text to put across the message in a fun, interesting way. And I loved that the author wanted children to understand that even bathtime can be filled with adventure. My only criticism is that the boy is not very good at listening to his mother. In fact, I´d go as far as to say he´s a bit of a brat. Over and over, she tells him not to wet everything, but he just grins and keeps on splashing. I liked the ´adventure´ message, but I didn´t like the ´ignore your mum message´. Personally, I think his mum should have insisted he sort out the mess; now that would be a good message! To sum up, this is a fun, vibrant story, perfect for 5 - 7 year olds. They´ll love watching the boy play in the bath in his frog swimming cap. But I don´t think parents/grandparents will be particularly happy if the child then attempts to drench the bathroom too! A 'Wishing Shelf' Book Review When my brother
