Off to See the Sea by Nikki Grimes (Hardcover)

Picture Book - Ages 4-8

Illustrated by: Elizabeth Zunon

From Children’s Literature Legacy Award-winning author Nikki Grimes and acclaimed illustrator Elizabeth Zunon comes an adventurous & sweet sweet bath time story about a child’s imagination-fueled adventure out at sea—or maybe it’s just the bathtub!

Night has fallen and Mom and Dad need to get their little one in the tub. To make it more fun, Mom brings a magical adventure out at sea to life, where the faucet is a waterfall, a rubber ducky is a sea creature, and the splashing water is a raging sea! In their ocean journey, Mom and Dad manage to get their little one clean just in time to dock for bedtime. Hardcover picture book, 40 pages. Companion to the acclaimed Bedtime for Sweet Creatures.
