Who knows what to do?

Have you heard that King Bidgood does not want to get out ofhis bathtub? He wants to do everything in the bathtub: play war with his Admiral, have lunch with the Queen, go fishing with the Duke and even dancing with the Court. His Court is not happy about that at all. All their efforts to get the king out of the bathtub fail. Who knows what to do?This book about King Bidgood is one of the books by Wood and Wood dealing with issues in toddlers' lives. ... Your toddler and you will love to read about someone else's problems with the bathtub. Reading the book as a parent one finds that sometimes the so called "big" issues in toddlers' lives are the Big issues of Life.The artwork in the book by Don Wood is engaging, beautiful, and humorous, perfectly capturing the charm and spirit of Audrey Wood's text. In the book one will also get to know the "third" Wood, Bruce Robert, the son of Audrey and Don Wood, who served as the model for the key figure of the book: the King's Page, who knows what to do. ...

charming story, beautiful illustrations

This is one of my all-time favorite children's stories. We read that "King Bidgood's in the bathtub and he won't get out!" The lively characters, anxious to get their King out of the bathtub, but definitely not wanting to offend his royal sensibilities, subject themselves to the King's demands to fish with him -- in the tub. Dress up for a masquerade -- in the tub. Dine with him -- in the tub. The lyrics are cute, but the best part of this story is, without a doubt, the beautiful illustrations. This one is a keeper.

Happy, fun and beautifully illustrated.

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...!
