There's a Babirusa in My Bathtub: Fact and Fancy about Curious Creatures

Maxine Rose Schur

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Have you ever
bathed with a babirusa,
dove with a dugong
met a matamata, or
jumped with a jerboa?

No? Then this is the book for you!

You’ll encounter real, little-known animals with habits as curious as their names. “There’s a Babirusa in My Bathtub!” is a bestiary of amazing facts and poetic fancy. From Mexico to Madagascar, you’ll discover a wondrous assortment of unsung animals. Not famous -- but fabulous!

This unique book introduces thirteen little-known animals. Fanciful poems inspire children to want to know more and the book delivers.
National Wildlife Federation

Startling facts, silly poems and the thrill of a hidden picture hunt make this warmly illustrated smorgasbord of strangeness a sly and slippery segue from fiction to non-fiction.

Because it both reinforces the basics of reading and develops a passionate interest in nature, There's a Babirusa in My Bathtub is not to be missed.

“Maxine Rose Schur uses creativity to connect narrative and expository text throughout There’s a Babirusa in My Bathtub! Her use of poetry spawns the imagination of children about little-known animals. The book awakens the natural curiosity of children and inspires them to deeper levels of understanding in both reading and science. And for teachers she provides activities that reinforce phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary development.
