King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub-Audrey Wood September 1, 2007

King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub, and he won’t get out!” exclaims a harried page to the king’s nose-in-the-air court. Several attempts follow to extract the king from his watery repose and, my, how the mighty slip-up. (I could have said “fail”, but sometimes a little bathroom humor has an uncontrollable urge to leak out.) Unfortuately, these courtly efforts only succeed in tormenting everyone but the King who is enjoying it all immensely. And so, “Who knows what to do? Who knows what to do?” Thanks to the clever page who out-logics them all, we have lift-off, or lift-out, well, success. “Glub. Glub. Glub.” Don Wood, illustrator extraordinaire, has painted some wonderfully detailed and humorous pictures-so good, in fact, I could almost hear the Queen lamenting, “And to think I could have married Richard.” during the, um, two in a tub luncheon.
