A bright and contemporary picture book for young children about the fun of bath time, imaginative play-and fishing for underpants from the bath boat!

This morning, Fodo Dodo and Noodle go fishing. They take raincoats, boots, hats and a fishing rod. From their bathtub boat, they soon catch a beautiful striped fish out of the laundry basket-underguppies!

Fodo Dodo and Noodle rush to the kitchen to prepare their feast. But the owner of the underpants is not happy with this game of make-believe. Never mind, Fodo Dodo has another idea to keep the fun alive with an even better use for the rest of the laundry.

This cheerful, simple story takes its imaginary premise to a laugh out loud ending as two silly animals make the most of playtime in the bath. With wordplay, rhythm and repetition, this stylish picture book is built for a fun read-aloud full of silly words and humor. Themes of imagination and play, and contemporary graphic illustrations all help transform a dull or troublesome bathtime routine into a fun, creative playground for toddlers and preschoolers.

Translated from the French edition by Daniel Hahn.

Industry Reviews

-- Kirkus Reviews

"With self-assured characters and snappy pacing, it's a simple angling story that's as streamlined and functional as a pair of underpants."

-- Publishers Weekly

"The perfect book to read aloud, turn a dull or troublesome bathtime routine into fun, and to celebrate the creative joy to be found in play and pretend."

-- Lancashire Post, UK

"Gecko Press publishes curiously good books, and this is one that exemplifies their promise."

-- Read Plus, Australia

"This vibrantly illustrated picture book has style that reminds me of a cross between Jane Foster and Stephanie Blake."

-- Reading Time, The Children's Book Council of Australia
