I found this book one day sitting at Barnes and Noble and I picked it up and read it straight through. Not only entertaining, it's informative for students and makes them think about the ways in which volume affects things like water in a bathtub. A perfect book to use in a math or science lesson. (

Every day it’s the same story: Mr. Archimedes, the goat, the kangaroo, and wombat climb into the bathtub and the water spills over the tub. Mr. Archimedes is determined to get to the heart of the problem. Funny little take on an old story. (

Mr Archimedes is troubled by the fact that after every bathtime with his friends there's a huge mess of water all over the bathroom floor. He begins to blame each friend and through investigation and the process of elimination he discovers that they are all making the water rise and splash over the edge of the bath everytime they get in.
