It may be time to take a bath, but one little girl would rather dress up as a mermaid. Still, with the help of a few underwater friends, she discovers the strange and sudsy ways that sea creatures keep themselves clean. From rubbing themselves on anemones and pebbles to visiting a designated “cleaning station” where other animals clean off dead skin, readers will marvel at the myriad ways that sea creatures bathe. This informational fiction story is a playful introduction to navigating a major childhood milestone that also underscores the importance of maintaining cleaning habits.
Filled with charming illustrations, humor, and an adorable cast of characters, this book is sure to become a bathtime, bedtime, and daytime favorite as well as a go-to for teachers and caregivers.
