Review
"Beauty aside, this also has a panache and sly wit that will please children and their parents, who will be called on to peruse the book again and again." (Booklist)"
Product Description
In this delightful story, the king refuses to leave his bathtub and rule the kingdom. One by one, the Knight, the Queen, the Duke, and eventually all the members of the King's Court attempt - and fail - to persuade King Bidgood to leave his sumptuous bath. Why King Bidgood finally leaves his bathtub makes a delightful surprise ending to this exuberant tale.

This is a charming story for young children. King Bidgood is in the bath and will not get out. Many attempts are made to do so, but he just conducts the various activities suggested in the bath! Who will be successful in getting him to come out of the bath?
The illustrations are just exquisite and really add to the experience. This book is a positive feast for the eyes and will delight all ages. It is particularly appropriate for children aged 4 to 7 years, I would say.

This will make you laugh!
17 Dec 1998
Format:Hardcover
When I was in 5th grade, I read King Bidgood's in the Bathtub, and got to hear the tape with it. It was so good, my brother and I would read it constantly. We would even walk to school singing the song (at the top of our lungs, of course!). A great children's book, all in all, with beautiful illustrations. The absurdity of fishing in a tub, going to war in a tub, eating lunch, and even having a royal ball in a bathtub will have you laughing in no time. Get it for the kids in you life, but I bet some adults will like it too!

Happy, fun and beautifully illustrated.
28 July 1999
Format:Hardcover
The story of King Bidgood is fun and happy and proves there is always an answer to things...just not the ones most would think of first!! The illustrations in this book are the most beautiful I've ever seen. My sons always find something new on each page, everytime we read it...again and again and again...!

Outstanding Production!
27 Dec 1999
My family and I absolutely love this musical production of King Bidgood. The songs are extremely clever and terrifically performed. We all enjoy singing along. I have shared this tape with a first-grade class and they also thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to everyone!
