14. Bubble Books! The Clownfish

15. Bubble Books! The Hippopotamus

Author unknown for both. These are books for very young children that take roughly 30 seconds to read out loud in their entirety. I bought them a few years ago for my nieces, who still enjoy hearing the stories as they play with the matching toys in the bathtub (a clownfish and a hippopotamus, of course). The books are plastic, waterproof, and inflated, so they are good bath toys. Each book gives a little bit of information about the habitat of the animals (ocean for the clownfish, savannah for the hippo).


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
