Small Elephant likes water . . . but not when it’s in a bath.
Small Elephant’s mommy tries to make the bath more fun with toys and bubbles, but he is not fooled.
He is too busy to take a bath. He has said no many times. He is getting very cross.
And then he disappears! (Elephants who cannot be found cannot take baths.)
But Small Elephant’s daddy has a way to make the bath fun. He may look silly doing it—but it just might work!
With spare text and sprightly illustrations, Tatyana Feeney, three-time author of gently funny books for the youngest readers, takes on another very important toddler topic—bathtime!

From School Library Journal:
PreS—Small Elephant likes jumping in puddles and drinking water through his curly straw, but he doesn't like water when it's in the bathtub. His mom tries several incentives such as toys and bubbles to get her son into the bath, but nothing works as Small Elephant "disappears" behind the curtain. His mother tries one more trick, and it works: seeing his large Daddy looking silly in the tiny tub finally coaxes Small Elephant into the water, and he is reluctant to get out. Simple line drawings with touches of red, white, and blue against ample white space and minimal text add to the charm of this story that captures the experience of a toddler tantrum with humor and good nature.—Sarah Polace, Cuyahoga Public Library System, OH
