A first, worst impression leads to a lasting friendship in this hilarious picture book romp from the author of the New York Times bestselling Cat series and The Quiet Book.

Things you'd expect to find in the bathtub:
1. Soap bubbles 2. Rubber duckies 3. Shampoo

Things you don't expect to find in the bathtub:
1. WALRUS

As it turns out, once a walrus settles in for a nice long soak, it's pretty darn hard to get him out. What's a family to do? This silly-sweet story will keep readers giggling as a family tries--and tries again!--to evict their unexpected houseguest... before finally realizing why he's there in the first place.
