When I was in 5th grade, I read King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub, and got to hear the tape with it. It was so good, my brother and I would read it constantly. We would even walk to school singing the song (at the top of our lungs, of course!). A great children’s book, all in all, with beautiful illustrations. The absurdity of fishing in a tub, going to war in a tub, eating lunch, and even having a royal ball in a bathtub will have you laughing in no time. Get it for the kids in you life, but I bet some adults will like it too!

The story of King Bidgood is fun and happy and proves there is always an answer to things…just not the ones most would think of first!! The illustrations in this book are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. My sons always find something new on each page, everytime we read it…again and again and again…!

My family and I absolutely love this musical production of King Bidgood. The songs are extremely clever and terrifically performed. We all enjoy singing along. I have shared this tape with a first-grade class and they also thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to everyone!

This is one of my all-time favorite children’s stories.
We read that “King Bidgood’s in the bathtub and he won’t get out!” The lively characters, anxious to get their King out of the bathtub, but definitely not wanting to offend his royal sensibilities, subject themselves to the King’s demands to fish with him — in the tub. Dress up for a masquerade — in the tub. Dine with him — in the tub.
The lyrics are cute, but the best part of this story is, without a doubt, the beautiful illustrations.
This one is a keeper.

I wish I had bought just the audiobook and text. The singing in this production is off-key and extremely grating. It would have been much better if the story had been on one side of the cassette and the yowling on the other. I hide it so my daughter can’t play it.
