Description
Bathtime has Cat quite literally bent out of shape in this fresh, funny concept book that's purr-fect for the preschool set. It's bathtime for Cat, but Cat is nowhere to be found. That is, until you look closely. Young readers will delight in following housemates Kitty and Puppy (and a few buzzing flies) on an excitable pursuit--with hilarious results! Author-illustrator Mirka Hokkanen brings her original talent for sight gags to this stylish tale of trapezoids and triangles, circles and squares (and several more shapes besides), all hidden in plain sight. Readers of all ages will be given over to giggles as they discover Cat's many contortions.

The ending combines the adorable with the humorous as the tables turn for Kitty and Puppy. Clever, cute, and child-friendly, with excellent use of book design.
