Review:

Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy of this book. I received this in exchange for my honest review. 

This was a fun one for beginner readers. Love the tips and tricks as a mom and a daycare provider. I was a little concerned, how old is the girl in the story. The way she is talking seems young and in that case maybe shouldn't have been left in the bath by herself. If she is supposed to be older then the way she is talking is a little off.  Again, great as a "learn to read" not one for the nightstand. 

Illustrations are good. very clean and basic. Done in a great engaging way for beginners without being a distraction too.
