Hey! Hey! What do you say! It's time to take a bath today. From the irrepressible Sandra Boynton, an irresistible storybook for bath time. It's a classic tale of pig meets paint. Spattered with colors from a long day at the easel, the pig takes to the tub, washcloth in hoof, determined to get all pink and clean. On the last page, the snout has a bound-in squeaker. Get it? Squeaky clean? Bath Time! is waterproof, nontoxic, completely baby-safe--and it floats!
You've got front-row seats to the cutest revue in town--hop on down to The Bunny Rabbit Show! The latest addition to Sandra Boynton's phenomenal bestselling Boynton on Board series, this book stars a cast of high-kicking bunnies performing in perfect unison to a lively song all about . . . them.
We are ten terrific rabbitsAnd we like to dance and sing.
Ten terrific rabbits.
We can do most anything. Bunnies are very welcoming, so everyone (Boynton's pigs, sheep, chickens, and YOU) can come join the chorus line--bunny ears mandatory, of course. An exuberant original song by Sandra Boynton and Mike Ford is available for download.
The snoring goes on, on and on through the night. They never stop snoring till the first morning light.
Ah, all those dinosaurs look so cute in their pajamas. See them yawn and stretch and brush their teeth. Soon they'll be sound asleep, and . . . OH NO! SNORING!!!
