Well... We tried to read this book. However it seems that the book was at the Dollar Tree because the outside doesn't match the insides. There was not able to be found in this book. I believe what we actually read was nighty night. Still a cute book either way goes. Love the little Sesame Street characters.

This is a popular book in my room. I we have a 14 month old who goes for this almost every time I say "Go pick a book.". The story catches their attention especially when you read it in an excited voice and use hand motions to go with. This is a good baby book.

Really cute book for little little ones, with bright colors and activities to teach them about bathtime and parts of their bodies. Plus, Cookie Monster eats a bar of soap! It's pretty much can't lose.

We read it every night! The Sesame Beginnings books are fantastic for babies and toddlers.

This is currently G's favourite book by far. I think we've read it at least 100 times! G doesn't have many words yet, but she will pick this book up, bring it to me, say "bubbles" and climb into my lap until I read it!

My 15 month old cousin loves this book! It's basically about Sesame Street characters taking a bubble bath. Very bright colors and words for baby to repeat.

No author listed, Bubbles, Bubbles! (Bendon Publishing, 2008)
A couple of weeks ago in another review, I finally threw down the gauntlet and declared any book without complete information is getting docked points. I'm not the only one that feels this way; a recent article at deadspin (http://deadspin.com/5889376/if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie-youre-fucked-10-tips-for-avoiding-terrible-childrens-books), “10 Tips for Avoiding Terrible Children's Books”, clocks in at #9 with this gem: “9. Never buy any book that's a movie or TV tie-in. Most of these books don't even list a proper author, mostly because they were conceived and executed during a conference call between brand managers. None of them has any value. They just use still photos and screencaps from the movie properties and then vomit up a shorthand version of the movie story. You can find any number of examples of this. You're essentially buying an advertisement. Don't be a slave to Big Book. “ While this is the only of the ten points I fully agree with, the author nails it right on the head: any book that refuses to name an author or an editor was probably written by committee, and no one wants to take responsibility for it. (This does not just go for kidlit—e.g., any book written by, for example, “the editors of [website].com.” For the love of pete, at least come up with a stupid pseudonym like the cheezburger guys did. It shows you actually thought about it.) And so here we are with a TV tie-in that doesn't list an author anywhere—not on the Amazon page, not at the publisher's website, not in the book itself. Which is, in fact, a (thankfully short) book-length advertisement for Sesame Street, with the most simplistic of rhyme schemes, few words per page (even when stalling for time, you'll get through this one in two minutes), and a strong focus on the characters from the show. Less than impressive by any measure. **
