Pirates Don't Take Baths by John Segal

 

There are few things more excruciating, more traumatic, more torturous than bath time. And this little pig is putting his hoof down. No. More. BATHS. But how can he possibly accomplish this? Well, by being someone else, of course. After all, everyone knows pirates, astronauts, and knights in shining armor - just to name a few - never, EVER take baths. Now if only he can convince his mother. Pirates Don't Take Baths by John Segal was published in March 2011. 

So, my youngest is absolutely terrifies of baths and showers. She's total fine crawling face first into a lake or even climbing into a pool. But some reason baths and showers send her into absolute panic. It's a lot of fun in a hotel in the middle of the night and she screaming bloody murder because she got sick in the middle of the night and we had to give her a bath. So, I try to find books that can help her understand that baths and showers are okay and can be fun. This book is absolutely adorable and cute for preschoolers to read. I think all parents have dealt with kids not wanting to get clean. The illustrations in this book are simple but it really works in this text. The story-line is adorable and its so true with preschoolers. This book is worth checking out and adding to your list.
