I liked the fish homing home in the bath
This is a book about three toys who come to life when the house is empty, fill up the bath and receive calls for help via the shower head. It's a rhyming book which has the lines, Wings out, and off we fly. The Flying Bath is in the sky!, repeated throughout the book as they fly around the world on various rescue missions. Their last mission is to save a fish whose pond is drying out, and who they end up taking back to their home ready for their family's return and children's bath time. Julia Donaldson delights her readers yet again with this book and the illustrations by David Roberts are brilliant too. I would recommend this book for very young readers.
I liked this book, I liked seeing how the bath toys helped animals all over the world!
I read this book to my younger brother.
It was nice that this book rhymed. And fun when we got to the main words of the story... “Wings out and off we fly the flying bath is in the sky” I enjoyed all the illustrations too.
The best character was the frog and they were very kind.
We enjoyed this read with lovely story and pictures
I liked when the fish got saved
I liked the piglet because he needed a wash!I also liked the baboon.
I also liked seeing a picture in the book from another Julia Donaldson book 'The Troll'.
I think it's a good book to read because our topic was Wings and Wheels and the bath can fly.
I loved this book. I liked it that the bath animals helped everyone. My favourite bit of the story is when the children realise there’s another fish in the bath!
I think it was funny that they ended up with another fish in the bath and I liked that they were kind to the other animals.
I liked this book, at the end the fish they rescued was in their fish tank. The tortoise, duck and frog saved the fish because he drowning in his pool.
the book was good because the toys in the bath helped all the animals in trouble
It’s funny when the baboon’s tree set fire.
It's a good book. My favourite character is the duck.
my favourite part was when they helped the bee.
I liked this book because flying baths actually could be real and theres a duck that can talk and a frog that can move and a wind up turtle.
