Excerpt: Scrub: How a Simple Soap Saved the Day (by (author) Suzanne Belliveau)
In a little pink dish on a shelf by the tub Lived a simple soap bar who called himself Scrub. Scrub was perfectly plain and remarkably flat, He sprang into action in time for the bath.
Scrub bounced off the belly like a big trampoline Then slid down the arms, leaving everything clean. He scoured the armpits, then peeked through the toes, Slipped into tight spaces where no one else goes.
