The repeated phrase "splish splash rumba-rumba bim bam boom" will be fun for storytime crowds to chant along. Didn't love the art.

My three-year-old daughter loves when I read this to her. The illustrations are great, and the rhythm of the rhyme makes it fun to read - it's almost like a song. I find that we sometimes bop to the beat as I recite the story. And my daughter likes to chime in when it's time to say, "splish splash rumba rumba bim bam BOOM!"

I wish there was a video available that had a musical interpretation of the story.
