A Fun and Whimsical Tale with Beautiful Illustrations

I LOVE this book! It is a rhyming story book with many beautiful illustrations about a baby who decides to go to sea in his mother's washtub and takes along his stuffed animals. I love all the imagination put into making it seem that the baby really is at sea and not just inside a washtub on top of his mother's blue scatter rug. It makes it so real, that at the end of the story, the mother can't figure out where one of the baby's animals came from---a new one has appeared that she doesn't know about. The rhymes are great, and imagining a little baby on such a big dangerous adventure makes it all the more fun. THis book could be for grownups to enjoy as well as children. I LOVE this book!! It's so full of whimsy and fun. '
