This is a fairly good book. The repetition makes it interesting and fun to read for the children. The premis of the book is also fun for them. Could you really float away in the tub? No! But it would really fun if you did!
This story is about a little boy named william. William overflows his bathtub and quickly goes sailing down the stairs of his apartment building. He runs into different tenants apartments flooding theirs too, all the while in his bathtub. After each apartment another tenant is swept up in the flood. By the time the story is over William is in the bathtub and seven tenants are following in the gush of water. At the end William recieves a medal for putting out a fire and being a hero. This is a cute book, and younger kids would love it. It has a good moral to the story which is to always listen to what your parents tell you. if William would have cut the water off in one minute then the tub wouldnt have over flowed.
I think that this book is good because you can talk about where water goes when if fills up the bathtub. Have the students right a story about where they would like to go in a bathtub.
This book is about two little boys taking a bath. The older one tells the younger one a story about the tub floating away, and then suddenly when the story is over the water overflows and the tub goes out the door. This is a cute book, and it would be fun to have a class discussion about if this could really happen, and also about where the water goes.
So. Much. Fun!!!
