Review Quotes

Praise for the hardcover edition: "[T]his is one handsome book. Teckentrup creates strikingly graphic spreads from simple, large-scale shapes and expressionistic overlays of texture and color. The combination of the blunt text and bold pictures might even help cajole reluctant bathers to get their feet wet." --Publishers Weekly
"This should engender roars of approval." --Kirkus Reviews
