Big Red Tub

This was memorized almost perfectly by my then-two-year old son, and he still loves it today at age 5. Its beauty is in its rhythm and rhyme, and fun pictures of animals that kids love (see cover). I haven't listened to the c.d. so I can't review it. Personally I feel like the author must have written the text with the intent of it being read aloud in a sing-song style. I love reading it with my kids!

My husband brought this book home for our two-year-old. We all love to read it! Our daughter likes to guess who is coming in the door based upon the description, as well as reciting the "refrain" with us. At dinner the other night, someone mention splashing, and she said, "Stan and Stella in the big red tub. I splash, you splash..." Great find!

My 6 and [...] girls LOVE this book! It's funny and has great illustrations. We recently read this in my 6 year olds class and everyone there loved it. My sister, a librarian, also finds this to be a big hit at storytimes.

What a great book. My children (age 2 and 3) absolutely love it and can't listen to it enough. Literally, it is wonderful. It rhymes, it has repetitive words that my children join in to "read", and it's funny (when the hippo joins in). If you look closely at the last page, you can figure out how Stan and Stella's imagination thought up all those animals in their tub! My children enjoy finding all the animals in the story (on the last page). I want to get another copy just as a keepsake for when they have children someday.

The pictures are bright and large and vibrant. The story rhymes and it is just a great story for little kids. My daughter is one years old and she sat and listened and loved the pictures. It is also neat because it is using the kids imagination. You will have to read it to find out. I am a librarian and I am buying MY own copy.
