Flubby Will Not Take a Bath, a delightful tale by J. E. Morris, features Flubby, the cute but aloof cat who refuses to wash up in this silly story about bathtime!

It's time for Flubby to take a bath, but the fussy feline won't get in the water. Bubbles, shampoo, and even a toy cannot convince the cat to get clean. Kami is determined to get the job done, thoughβ€”even if she has to get creative!

The charming illustrations, simple text, and comic-like panels by J. E. Morris, the author-illustrator of the Maud the Koala books, make this a unique format with a narrative style perfect for storytime and progressing readers.
