With familiar characters in the adorable cartoonish Boynton style, this book is an absolutely delightful and interactive twist on the original song. What I loved: This is such a clever and fun bath time book that is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. On each page, they then clean off the animal before they reach the end and clean themselves. It comes with a washcloth featuring the cow from the first page that instructs children to get their washcloths ready. Even without, this is a clever bath toy that invites children to play and enjoy washing up. For fans of the song, they will appreciate the rhythm set to some new text. BARNYARD BATH! is an absolutely delightful bath toy/book twist on Barnyard Dance. ![]() ![]() ![]() He thought that his presence between his parents would end fighting.
