Splash Goes the Bath

This book belongs to:

“Bath time, Rafi!” calls Ibu. But Rafi does not want a bath. “No, thank you,” he says, and he hides behind the door.

Splash! In jumps the yellow duck. Splash! In jumps the little red boat. Splash! In jumps the blue fish.

“Quack, quack!” says the duck. “Toot, toot!” says the boat. “Blub, blub!” says the fish. The bubbles go up, up, up.

Rafi peeks round the door. The bath looks like so much fun! Splash! In jumps Rafi. “More bubbles, please!” he laughs.
