"Bath time!" called Mama Duck.

"No bath," said Dottie. "I like my mud."

Mama Duck turned on the water. Splish, splash. She added a squeeze of soap. The bubbles grew and grew.

Dottie peeked over the side of the tub. "What are those?" she asked.

"Bubbles," said Mama. "Big ones and little ones."

Dottie hopped in. Splish! She blew on a bubble. It floated up, up, up, and went pop.

She made a bubble hat. She made a bubble beard. She made a bubble tower as tall as her head.

Then Mama wrapped Dottie in a soft, warm towel. "All clean," said Mama.

"Mama," said Dottie, "can I have a bath again tomorrow?"
