In Tub Trouble, it’s time for a bath! Daisy, the mommy dog, loves bath time, but Bandit, the bull terrier pup, has a completely different reaction! Bandit’s imagination takes him on a high-seas adventure and a tussle with a giant octopus. Never fear, all ends well in this beautifully illustrated story.

Now remastered with a new look and bonus materials! From the LAUNCH lineup for beginning readers! Launch bridges the gap between children's picture books and comics with three stages: Stage One: a few simple words, but mostly letters and sounds; Stage Two: more simple words, and repetition; Stage Three: expanded vocabulary, plus sequential storytelling. In Tub Trouble (Stage One), it's time for a bath! Bandit's best friend, Daisy, loves bath time, but Bandit has a completely different reaction! Bandit's imagination takes him on a high-seas adventure and a tussle with a giant octopus. Never fear, all ends well in this beautifully illustrated story.
