Hop in the bath!
Great product this - waterproof book with velcro fastener and a squeaker, my 8 month old son loves playing with it as well as having it read to him. Durable, brightly coloured and well written, overall very highly recommended.

Wonderful Scheffler illustrations in a simple story for bathtime
This book is perfect for children from about 12 to 42 months. If you're not already familiar with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's books, they're great for children from about a year old. Great stories, beautifully illustrated, and usually with a message that kids can begin to relate to when they grow up a little. Although this book is Axel Scheffler's own work, the style is very similar.

The story is a simple one about how Freddy the Frog loves to play in the pond with his friends. The novelty is that it's a well-put-together waterproof plastic book. Looks like it'll probably last fairly well, and it's very buoyant, so no danger of losing it under the bubbles! It also has a squeaker on the front cover, which, while a little incongruous, keeps little ones entertained too.

My nearly-3-year-old girl loves the Donaldson and Scheffler books, but is probably nearing the end of being entertained by this book. Think it'll be great for younger children though.

ok-ish
Nice book. Nothing to really write home about though. Its a soft cover book, which has a squeezy squeeker thing on the front cover, obviously waterproof. The rhyming story within isn't astounding and my 18 month old wasn't fascinated in any way. She was interested for about 5 minutes flat.. and then went to play with some floating blocks.
