By Audrey Wood • Illustrated by Don Wood

A Caldecott Honor Book that bubbles with humor, imagination, and irresistible charm. In this whimsical tale, King Bidgood refuses to leave his bathtub—and the entire kingdom is in a lather trying to coax him out!

Book Synopsis

From dancing and dining to fishing and jousting, King Bidgood insists on doing everything from his luxurious tub. One by one, the court tries to lure him out, only to be drawn into the bath themselves. With lush, detailed illustrations and a playful narrative, this picture book is a visual feast and a storytelling delight for readers young and old.
