Bath Time!

Who ever the "imagination" person is within the Boynton world needs a raise. A bath time book, the kids can actually take into the bath. My nephew LOVES it, and he even looks forward to bath time, when this book is included in the activities.

Workman Publishing wants Sandy Boynton's fans (who are legion) to know that we deeply regret the production problems that afflicted the first printing of BATH TIME (2007) - and we want them to know that these problems were corrected in subsequent printings. We moved the production to a different manufacturer; the inks now are fine, the covers now are fine, and the contents remain deserving of five oinks. If you take a look at the the store comments for BARNYARD BATH - which was released in 2008, a year after BATH TIME - you'll see that there are no complaints. Only praise. The quality problems have been solved. You can order BATH TIME and BARNYARD BATH today with confidence that the books will hold up.

Sadly, as other reviewers have noted, the binding of this book comes apart after a month or two of bath time fun. The ink is also beginning to flake. My preschooler loves to read this book to her baby brother. The story is short but very cute and just right for little ones to "read". As a long time lover of Boynton's books, I am saddened that this one is such poor quality because it quickly became a favorite at tub time.

Like other Boynton books, Bath Time is cute and catchy. My daughter loved to read it in the tub; however, after just a couple months' use, the cover separated from the rest of the book and the text and images are flaking off. Sadly, we are throwing it away.

Do not buy this book, like the other reviews said the ink comes off and if you baby is like mine and puts everything in his mouth that means he is eating the ink! We haven't even put it in the tub and it is falling apart. Could be a health hazard to babies!

I bought Bath Time! from the store two weeks ago. The book is cute, but the cover has already fallen off (in two weeks!). I called the publisher to ask for a replacement, but no one has returned my call. I would recommend going with something else, like Quacky and Hoppy (ISBN 0764193775) which is super cute and much higher quality.
