A picture-book series · Ages 2–5
He's a bathtub.He has other ideas.
Meet Bernie — a white enamel bathtub with orange feet and an imagination too big to stay in one bathroom.
One day he's a boat. The next, he might be a bus, a rocket, or something nobody saw coming. Wherever Bernie goes, his orange feet go too — and there's always room for a little crew aboard.

The first adventure
Bernie the Bath™: Sailor of the Seas
“I'm tired of sitting here all on my own… I want to sail! I want to explore! I want to be something so much more!”
One sunny morning a warm golden breeze blows in, fairy dust sparkles and swirls — and Bernie becomes a boat. Then it's off across the bathroom floor, past the loofah reef and the shampoo islands, through a foamy whirlpool, all the way to a shore made of bubbles.
- Made to be read aloud. Bouncy four-line rhymes bring every adventure to life and keep little listeners engaged.
- A hunt on every page. Can you find Gus the rubber duckie and his friends hiding along the way?
- A bubbly lesson to finish. Bernie's Bubbly Buddies Rules celebrate kindness, washing, brushing and listening.
