King Bidgood's in the bathtub and he won't get out! He creates a fuss for the entire kingdom and brings everyone into the tub. It doesn't end until the Page finds a solution.
Bidgood's story is a classic picture book. The art is larger than life and beautifully detailed. A big book is a great way to share this story with a large audience. The story also has a phrase that a crowd can repeat together.
Theme: Washing
Additional themes: royalty, baths

Cute book! I haven't read it since I was littlr, so it was fun rereading it.
I don't feel like I can really rate this until I read it with a child.... is that cheating?

My husband gifted me this book as a birthday or Christmas present sometime in the first year of our marriage because he knows how much I love children's books and it was one of his favorites as a child--such a great, meaningful gift! Now, a couple of years later, I've read it dozens of times in the last couple of months to our 21-month-old. She loves pointing out familiar details on each page, and the repetitive text really lends itself to her participation. When she wants me to read it to her, she brings it to me and says "Hep, hep!", imitating the page's cry for help every few pages-- "Help, help! King Bidgood's in the bathtub and he won't get out!" Don Wood's illustrations are lovely and nuanced and detailed!

I've never felt that King Bidgood looks quite right in the illustrations. Don't know why, but he just doesn't say "king who hangs out in the bath all day" to me.

You have to use funny voices when reading this aloud, otherwise it's not as good.
