Summary: King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub is a wonderful children story about a King who won’t leave the bathtub. No matter how many people try, he won’t get out of the bathtub. The knight, queen, the king’s court and several others try whatever they can to get him out of the tub. The kings, and whoever is trying at the moment, have wonderful adventures such as fishing, eating dinner, having a battle, and dancing in the tub. It isn’t until the page boy finally decides to take some action of his own, and takes the plug out of the tub. Finally the king comes out of the tub at the end of the day.
Reaction: I loved this book! As a child, every time my mom would read it to us, she would sing along the words, “King Bidgoods in the bathtub and he won’t get out, Oh who knows what to do?!” That sentence right there would make us squeal with laughter every time! It was a wonderful story that I think all children would love.
Recommendation: Honestly, this is one of my favorite books and I don’t have a single recommendation for the author or the illustrator. They did an amazing job.
Potential Problems/Conflicts: I think that one problem could be that some children might have, is that once they read the book, they might feel like its ok to spend an entire day in the tub, not listening to anyone who tries to get them out.
