Rub-a-Dub Sub
PreSchool-K-A boy in a submarine sinks below the surface to face an array of colorful sea creatures: "Peering through/a kelpy haze/at rainbow fish/and manta rays./Waving to a/whiskered shrimp./Floating by a/blowfish-blimp." All is well until he comes upon a shark. Then, he immediately bids adieu to the animals he has encountered, and the vessel surfaces safely-in the tub. Acrylic spreads show a teeming, cartoonlike undersea world in vibrant turquoise. This imaginative bath-time book excels at blending story and pictures.Linda M.
