I love the formatting of this book！ The way it shows conversations is phenomenal。 It was pretty cute and I enjoyed the ending。

I love the interactions between mother and child as the mother pig tries to convince her child to take a bath and the little pig keeps insisting he is a certain character that does not take baths。 The mother agrees that they may not take a bath but finds a negative that her child may not be able to deal with。 It's a cute back and forth and I love how it ends。 I like the simple illustrations and how over all it is a really short， quick read。 I love the interactions between mother and child as the mother pig tries to convince her child to take a bath and the little pig keeps insisting he is a certain character that does not take baths。 The mother agrees that they may not take a bath but finds a negative that her child may not be able to deal with。 It's a cute back and forth and I love how it ends。 I like the simple illustrations and how over all it is a really short， quick read。 。。。more

In this story， the little pig denies to take a bath by suggesting various characters who might not take a bath， but the pig’s mother is wiser than him。 It was fun to read the excuses that the little pig argued to avoid taking a bath and his mother’s thoughtful rebuttals。 What I was interested in while reading this picture book was that each characters’ environmental circumstances might influence their difficulties in taking a bath。 For instance， pirates may not take a bath quite often because se In this story， the little pig denies to take a bath by suggesting various characters who might not take a bath， but the pig’s mother is wiser than him。 It was fun to read the excuses that the little pig argued to avoid taking a bath and his mother’s thoughtful rebuttals。 What I was interested in while reading this picture book was that each characters’ environmental circumstances might influence their difficulties in taking a bath。 For instance， pirates may not take a bath quite often because sea water was inappropriate for taking a bath。 That is， pirates live in the middle of the water， but the water they can use and consume for their lives were rare to keep。 When it comes to the life of astronauts， they take a bath but with less water because of their space circumstances。 What I did not like about this book was the responses of the little pig and underlying intention of the mother pig’s question regarding Eskimo’s dietary。 The mother pig said Eskimos eat whale blubber and walrus liver。 I do not think those are gross as the little pig said。 Dietary depends on their habitats and circumstances。 Eskimos could not eat oranges and pizza as we eat for daily food。 This conversation could influence biased images on Eskimos and negative responses toward others’ situations。 。。。more

A cute little board book about how *everyone* has to take a bath。 And how even a bath can be really fun！

Fun book about a little pig not wanting to take a bath。 He keeps coming up with excuses， parent keeps countering them with better reasons。 In one spread the little pig decides to be an Eskimo - which is considered an inaccurate and offensive terms by many indigenous peoples。 Parent tells him Eskimos eat blubber and liver which little pig then refers to as "gross。" I will probably still use this book in my storytime and just skip that page。 （I do that with other books that are too long or nonfict Fun book about a little pig not wanting to take a bath。 He keeps coming up with excuses， parent keeps countering them with better reasons。 In one spread the little pig decides to be an Eskimo - which is considered an inaccurate and offensive terms by many indigenous peoples。 Parent tells him Eskimos eat blubber and liver which little pig then refers to as "gross。" I will probably still use this book in my storytime and just skip that page。 （I do that with other books that are too long or nonfiction books that I use to introduce different concepts to my preschoolers）。 。。。more

cute book used for a storytime event with library。 Would choose again。 There are a few parts that had to be explained （whale blubber） but over all good。

Candace ，

This is the story of a little piggy who delays taking a bath by being different characters who don't take baths。 Meanwhile， Mom tries to lure the piglet into taking a bath。 It's a book that takes on the bath time issue many children go through and uses Mommie logic to counter the objections。 However， I have read one review where the reviewer said the portrayal of the Eskimo was inaccurate。 This is the story of a little piggy who delays taking a bath by being different characters who don't take baths。 Meanwhile， Mom tries to lure the piglet into taking a bath。 It's a book that takes on the bath time issue many children go through and uses Mommie logic to counter the objections。 However， I have read one review where the reviewer said the portrayal of the Eskimo was inaccurate。 。。。more

I thought this would be a good one to get kids to want to take a bath but really it's just about a parent tricking the child/pig into getting into the bathtub。 I thought this would be a good one to get kids to want to take a bath but really it's just about a parent tricking the child/pig into getting into the bathtub。 。。。more

Read like a rip off of the Little Critter “Just Go to Bed。”

Bethel Swift ，

I wanted to like this book a lot as it has great imagination and perspective （of a child who tends to abhor baths - especially in place of play）。 My only critique is that becoming an Eskimo （which I believe is actually an offensive term） is included as one of the options for the pig in his efforts to avoid a bath。 I don't like to see culture portrayed as a vocation or occupation。 [You aren't born an astronaut or a cowboy。 You might be born on a ranch， and raised to be a cowboy， but that is still I wanted to like this book a lot as it has great imagination and perspective （of a child who tends to abhor baths - especially in place of play）。 My only critique is that becoming an Eskimo （which I believe is actually an offensive term） is included as one of the options for the pig in his efforts to avoid a bath。 I don't like to see culture portrayed as a vocation or occupation。 [You aren't born an astronaut or a cowboy。 You might be born on a ranch， and raised to be a cowboy， but that is still not the same as being born into an indigenous culture。] There are also stereotypical references to what some of these people group's may include in their diet - which should really be off limits - and the author labels them gross via his main character。 Otherwise a really fun and engaging read but this blunder would keep me from purchasing。 。。。more

Pirates don't take baths is about an imaginative little pig who is trying to wiggle his way out of bath time。 His mother seeks an imaginative way to get him in the bath。 The story is told entirely in dialogue。It's a quick read and the kids liked it。The ending is fun。To note: this book makes it seem like a lot of people don't clean themselves， which is false， and can be offensive （towards cowboys， Eskimos， desert-dwellers etc。）。 When reading this book， you can let kids know that these little pigs Pirates don't take baths is about an imaginative little pig who is trying to wiggle his way out of bath time。 His mother seeks an imaginative way to get him in the bath。 The story is told entirely in dialogue。It's a quick read and the kids liked it。The ending is fun。To note: this book makes it seem like a lot of people don't clean themselves， which is false， and can be offensive （towards cowboys， Eskimos， desert-dwellers etc。）。 When reading this book， you can let kids know that these little pigs have inaccurate perceptions of others， and that those stereotypes are not true。 （You may also want to read it to yourself first， in case the children you're reading to are likely to be offended。） 。。。more

A little too much arguing between parent and child about bathtime for my taste。

Funny little book！

This book is about a little piglet that does not want to take a bath。 Thus， he makes up different excuse to why he can't bathe， for example， he makes up that he's an adventurer or a pirate。 His mother convinces him that could scuba dive to find treasure， making him take a bath in the end。 This book was very cute and I enjoyed reading it。 I feel like this book is for parents that struggle to bathe their children and this book would help them get their children to the bath。 I would recommend this This book is about a little piglet that does not want to take a bath。 Thus， he makes up different excuse to why he can't bathe， for example， he makes up that he's an adventurer or a pirate。 His mother convinces him that could scuba dive to find treasure， making him take a bath in the end。 This book was very cute and I enjoyed reading it。 I feel like this book is for parents that struggle to bathe their children and this book would help them get their children to the bath。 I would recommend this book because it is a cute story that children will be able to laugh about。 It will also spur their imagination。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This book shows how to complete a task in a creative way。 It uses imagination to help persuade a little boy to take a bath。 The little boy imagines himself is a pirate in the beginning and towards the end he becomes a scuba diver， which in turn gets him to take a bath。

I can remember when my son was small and decided he didn't need to take a bath so I found Pirates Don't Take Baths to be a delightful book to read and share with young children。 I also have an audio tape of the book so the children can listen to it with sound effects in the listening center in our preschool library area。 They enjoy hearing books we share on the tapes and often listen to Pirates Don't Take Baths many times。 I can remember when my son was small and decided he didn't need to take a bath so I found Pirates Don't Take Baths to be a delightful book to read and share with young children。 I also have an audio tape of the book so the children can listen to it with sound effects in the listening center in our preschool library area。 They enjoy hearing books we share on the tapes and often listen to Pirates Don't Take Baths many times。 。。。more
