About the book
This much-loved tale is now available as a boardbook—perfect for being held by little hands. Max is an independent little character, bursting with energy and ideas. Young readers will be thrilled by his everyday play and his friendship with the faithful, but not always willing, Dog. This is a wonderful first book for toddlers that perfectly captures the play world of children and the delight and frustration of Max’s bath time adventures: splashing about, submerging every toy—including his cookie—in the water and generally having as much fun as possible!
Reviews for Max’s Bath
“Perfectly balanced with humour and dilemma to draw child and reader into conversation. They would make a delightful gift.” – Nelson Mail
