It’s bath time in the outback.
A dusty boy is waiting.
But so are some very dusty and very cheeky animals.
Will this boy ever get clean?
Written by Kaye Baillie and illustrated by Max Hamilton, this lively picture book brings the Australian outback to life with warmth, humour and a cast of unexpected bath time guests. As one dusty visitor after another arrives at the waterhole, young readers are swept into a joyful story of sharing, laughter and togetherness.
A playful celebration of friendship, community and the simple fun of splashing in water on a hot day.
