title: Time for a Bath (Snuggle Time Stories)
author:  Phillis Gershator 
description: PreSRhyming text and bright illustrations take readers through seasonal toddler fun and messes with a mother rabbit and her offspring. Enjoying everything from a muddy spring garden and a sunny day at the beach to fall leaves and winter days spent indoors painting, the little bunny plays, explores, and gets really dirty. The refrain, "What time is it?/Time for a bath!" transitions the youngster into the tub for bubbly fun. The charming, soft-focus illustrations are perfect for the audience, and the simple and rhythmic text invites participation. A nice choice for preschool read-alouds or one-on-one sharing.Martha Link Yesowitch, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC

  The traveller who wishes to go from Poitiers to London by the shortest
  
  
  route will find that the simplest way is to take a seat in the stage-
  
  
  coach which runs to Saumur; and when you book your place, the polite
  
  
  clerk tells you that you must take your seat punctually at six
  
  
  o'clock. The next morning, therefore, the traveller has to rise from
  
  
  his bed at a very early hour, and make a hurried and incomplete
  
  
  toilet, and on arriving, flushed and panting, at the office, discover
  
  
  that there was no occasion for such extreme haste.
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  In the hotel from whence the coach starts every one seems to be
  
  
  asleep, and a waiter, whose eyes are scarcely open, wanders languidly
