Description
A Toot in the Tub offers a lighthearted, rhymed look at the importance of “healthful release” for kids. While upholding the importance of being kind to others, A Toot in the Tub pokes gentle fun at society’s expectations and rules for children, while urging young readers to never let such pressure take the fun out of life! Tooting in the bath is a metaphor for letting go, reminding us all in a giggle-worthy way that sometimes it’s okay to just be a kid!
