Ben and his shaggy dog Bandit love to spend time together painting, exploring, baking, digging and having a ball. What they don’t like doing is taking baths! So, young Ben comes up with the idea of ‘No Baths Week’ and does everything he can to avoid taking a bath. Unfortunately for Ben, his mum doesn’t share his enthusiasm, but at least she has a sense of humour.
Each day Ben and Bandit enjoy some messy fun together and each day his mum suggests they take a bath. Ben always insists it’s ‘No Baths Week’ and finds alternative ways to get themselves clean, without taking a bath. He comes up with an assortment of ideas, although he soon regrets each of his choices. Ben and Bandit manage to avoid a bath each day from Monday to Saturday, but can they make it through the entire week without taking a bath?
No Baths Week is a fun and playful picture story book aimed at kindergarten aged children. The action filled illustrations are bright and colourful and the use of onomatopoeia throughout makes it a fun read-a-loud.
