Splish, Splash, Niko!

By Stefan S. Bechtel

A little bath turns into a big, bubbly adventure

All Niko the little rabbit wants is a bath before bedtime. While Mom and Dad briefly visit the neighbors across the hall, he gets his rubber duck ready and goes off to play. But the old faucet isn't quite shut. Drop by drop, the tub fills until water and bubbles spill over the edge.

Soon, a warm sea of bubbles tickles Niko's toes. His rubber duck floats past, and a sock becomes a tiny boat. Then Niko has a wonderful idea: a folded ironing board and his striped T-shirt become a pretend surfboard with a sail. Sitting snugly on the dry sofa cushions, he imagines his very own surfing adventure.

Then Mom and Dad appear in the doorway. What will they say about this bubbly sea?

A warm, funny bedtime story for children ages 3 to 6 about imagination, loving support, and the comforting feeling of being safe and loved. With gentle rhythms and playful sounds, it's a cozy story to read aloud together.
