*with 39 words, it's technically not wordless, but very close.

Almost wordless picture book that brings the reader into the imagination of Marlo the dog as he takes a bath with his favorite rubber duckie and finds himself transported into the depths of the ocean. Find the duck on each page (it's actually kind of hard!) and enjoy.

Cartoon-style misadventures of a doggy bathtime.

Milo looks too much like Roast Beef from Achwood, I dunno.

Marlo is about a dog who has to get a bath and the underwater adventure that he has while in the bathtub with his duck. I choose this book because it was a picture book with only a few words and the pictures that didn’t have words were so colorful and had so much going on in them that this would be the perfect story to read with a child and allow them to create their own story of what Marlo did while he was underwater in the bathtub! This is a picture book!

This is kind of a weird book. It's almost totally comprised of detailed illustrations of Marlo exploring a dinosaur world, with no text. I guess it's partly supposed to be a seek and find book. I like the concept, of exploring a dog's imagination, very cute idea. This would only work for one-on-one, and I feel like there are better dino books out there.
