The beloved cat is back! This time Nat MIGHT take a bath. Nat comes up with excuses why he's not taking a bath, but the invasive narrator keeps giving Nat what he asks for. The narrator insists that Nat the Cat will take a bath and provides him with bubbles and toys, yet Nat is still leery of the bath.
Nat finally admits that he is afraid of water. Enter Pat the Rat. Pat loves baths and jumps into the bubbles and toys. Nat joins him because everyone knows when your friend joins you it's not scary anymore.
Lerner's sense of humor and Nat's expressions are spot-on for young readers. Kids will laugh at Nat's antics and those readers who really don't like bath time will take cue from Nat and jump on in.
Highly, highly recommended for new readers who love Nat already and for those who will discover him.
