Scaredy Bath

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A gorgeous bubble-filled ode to bath-time chaos, as seen from the bath's point of view. From the inimitable Zoe Foster Blake, author of the bestselling No One Likes a Fart.

Bath-time is fun! There's the bubbles, the bath toys and lots of splashing, of course. But have you ever wondered what it's like for the bath?

Scaredy Bath does not like bath time... the piping hot water, the gooey muck, and especially not the small boisterous grubby ones that shout and splash and make Scaredy all mucky! What's a bath to do? Will Scaredy Bath ever enjoy bath time?

Scaredy Bath is a delightful new addition to Zoe's much-loved brand of picture books that celebrate the ups and downs of family life. Joyously brought to life by the hilarious splash-filled illustrations of Daniel Gray-Barnett.

Funny, imaginative, and subversive - sure to be a read-aloud favourite. - Kirkus Reviews

Foster Blake has a talent for finding the unexpected in the unexceptional (bath time, bedtime, burps and farts). - Sydney Morning Herald

Original, well-written, and hilarious. - Weekend Notes

About the Author

Zoe Foster Blake (Author) Zoe Foster Blake writes fiction, non-fiction and children's picture books because she enjoys hijacking shelf space across multiple genres in bookshops. Zoe has written four novels, Air Kisses, Playing the Field, The Younger Man and The Wrong Girl; three self-help/relationship books, Textbook Romance, Break-Up Boss and LOVE!, and Amazinger Face, a collection of her best beauty tips and tricks after spending years as a beauty director. Zoe's first picture book, No One Likes a Fart, was released in 2017 and was the fastest-selling Australian picture book since Bookscan records began. (People DO like farts!) It's a sales record-breaker and a bookseller favourite with over 120,000 copies sold. It won the ABIA for Picture Book of the Year in 2018, and has also been published in North America, Italy and Japan. Her other much-loved picture books include the sequel, Fart and Burp are Superstinkers, as well as Scaredy Bath and Back to Sleep. Zoe lives in Springfield with her husband, Homer, and her three children, Maggie, Lisa and Bart. Daniel Gray-Barnett (Illustrator) Daniel Gray-Barnett is an illustrator and author from the Huon Valley, Tasmania. He likes to think of himself as someone who was put on this planet to tell a few stories before he turns into a grumpy old man. He's worked with clients including Disney, Kiehl's, Sydney Opera House and The New York Times and his first picture book, Grandma Z, won a Children's Book Council of Australia award for Best New Illustrator. When he's not in the studio, he can be found daydreaming in the garden with his husband, German pointers and chickens.
