Based on how they get messy, the "kid tea" or bathwater is a different color each day of the week. I disliked the gendering of "Thursday, girls day, Mommy's-heels-and-pearls day" (showing lipstick, nail polish, curlers, heels and ONLY the sister) and the "Friday, my day time-to-play-outside day" (showing football, baseball, and soccer and ONLY the brother).

In this book, the author rhymes the text which keeps the children engaged and eager to know what “kid tea” or bath water color the characters will be bathing in next. The fact that the boy and girl bathe in different color water each day of the week amuses the reader. With such vibrant colors and lively expressions in the illustrated children’s faces, the illustrator matches the text thoroughly.

This book is about a little boy and his sister going through colorful adventures on each day of the week, and taking a bath after each adventure. Each day has a color, and the bath water at the end of each day turns the color that matches the mess from the activity.

K-3. Fun story for kids to guys what colors the tea will be when they play in a particular type of soil or by what they eat.
