Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Bubble Blast (My First I Can Read)

It’s bath time for two little ducklings and one big dinosaur!

A sunny day of big summer fun leaves Feather, Flap, and their brother Spike very dirty. Mama calls everyone to the pond for a bath, but the two little ducklings refuse to get wet. Spike loves soap, but Feather and Flap don’t want to scrub. What will Spike do to make getting clean fun for everyone?

The eager dinosaur splashes right into the water, while his brother and sister insist that baths are not fun. Feather and Flap will not jump in, repeating that soap and scrubbing are no fun at all.

This short, sweet, and very bubbly story will help show kids how much fun bath time can be. Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Bubble Blast is a My First I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for shared reading with a child.

• Sibling Dynamics: When Mama calls for soap, Spike eagerly grabs a bar and a sponge while his duckling brother and sister stubbornly shake their heads.
• Early Literacy: Short sentences and repetitive chants—like Flap echoing "no soap" and "no scrubbing"—help emergent readers practice sounding out words.
• Dinosaur Stories: Just as Mama lists what comes next, Spike pipes up with an inspired question of his own.
• Also by This Author: Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Perfect Pumpkin, Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Spring Smiles and Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Snowy Surprise.
