Basil & Spice: Kids' Pick review by Marta Hoelscher

This is a cute story about two brother bears taking a bath. In her debut book, Alice Berger and illustrator Carolyn Ann Aish (Studio Seven Publishers), have managed to create a fun and playful story of two teddy bears and their bath time.

Jeremy Bear was taking a bath when his brother Benny, who had gotten very dirty wanted in. But Jeremy is a big bear now and wants to take his bath by himself. When Benny gets in he proceeds to do what all kids like to do when they take a bath...make a big mess. There's splashing, sloshing, toys, and bubbles everywhere! And to top it off Mama Bear is coming to see what is causing all the commotion in the bathroom. Your kids will enjoy this tale about bath time. It's a short read at only 16 pages long, and it is a soft book with the cover printed on very glossy paper. The book is ribbon bound with purple ribbon.

The illustrations aren't drawings but are pictures of two white teddy bears taking a bath. It's unique and fun and your youngsters are sure to love it. The story is pitch perfect and is too wonderful to miss. Hopefully we'll be hearing more from Berger, because she is a wonderful storyteller.
