In Off to See the Sea, night has fallen and Mom and Dad need to get their little one in the tub. To make it more fun, Mom brings a magical adventure out at sea to life, where the faucet is a waterfall, a rubber ducky is a sea creature, and the splashing water is a raging sea! In their ocean journey, Mom and Dad manage to get their little one clean just in time to dock for bedtime.
PRAISE FOR OFF TO SEE THE SEA: “Children will delight… This ebullient account of a common childhood experience bursts with love and universal appeal.” -Booklist, STARRED review "A joyous chronicle of the delight that a bath can bring-- imaginative and charming." -Kirkus |
