Cute book

I loved this book when I was a kid and now my son loves it. A silly and fun read :)

Children are sure to love this book

This story is about a boy named Lewis, he is terrified of the bathtub because he thinks there is a monster or Beast in the tub. His mother insists that he take a bath. All the way through the story one thing leads to another. I think the illustrator did a great job of making the pictures describe what was going on in the story. This is a great book for all children to read.

The Beast in the Bathtub

I bought this book in 1987 for my then 6 year old. It quickly became his favorite. The friendly green monster helped him to conquer his own fear of bed time monsters, and it became our joke that 'the beast' was under his bed guarding him! He is now a U.S. Marine and the book has become a favorite of his 2 and 4 year old little brothers who love it not only because 'Big brother Dave' loves it (still), but because they love to join in the pillow fight at bedtime and imagine stealing apples from the kitchen when the sheriff and deputy are watching t.v. They love to call out the final sentence with me as I read.... "OF COURSE there's no beast in the bathtub.... he's under my bed!!!"

One of my children's favorite books!

"Lewis skidded down the stairs and into the living room. 'I can't take a bath,' he announced. 'There's a Beast in the bathtub.'" So begins one of the most heavily rotated books in my children's collection. The delightful text is complemented by charming illustrations. The best children's books appeal to those who read aloud and those who listen. Beast in the Bathtub more than satisfies both audiences. If you can get your hands on a copy, don't miss this wonderful book!

A story your child will love to read over and over.

The story is about a boy, Lewis, who doesn't want to take a bath because there is a Beast in the bathtub. Lewis's mom insists that he bathe and the adventure begins. Lewis and the Beast are loveable characters and their interaction is charming. The story flows beautifully from start to finish making readers feel they are actually watching Lewis and the Beast. The illustrations are also wonderful. A must read for all children.
