To Bathe a Boa

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

“A boa has no greater wrath / than when he doesn’t want a bath!” In this rollicking verse story, the bathroom becomes a battleground between a clean-conscious youngster and his elusive reptile. Every child who has ever tried to avoid bath time—and every adult who has been faced with a child reluctant to bathe—will recognize in this uncommon boa some fairly common bath-dodging techniques. C. Imbior Kudrna’s hilarious illustrations capture all the subtleties of the boa’s antics in this story that will forever change the way youngsters feel about bathing.

“. . .the boa’s and the child’s jovial slitherings and contortions, should amuse even the most reluctant bathers.”
Booklist
