15. Bubble Books! The Hippopotamus, by Berengere Motuelle
16. Bubble Books! The Clownfish, by Berengere Motuelle

Very short books designed to be read in the bathtub. My 4-year-old niece dropped them, dripping wet, into my lap and asked me to read them. So, of course, I read them (yes, I'm a pushover). They provide small amounts of information about the habitats of the animals in the title. The books originally came with matching plastic toys, but I threw them out after they got mold inside them. (The books are easier to dry out than the toys, so they're still around.)


"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.”
