The Big Splash

A humorous picture story with simple repetitive text about a dinosaur preparing to take a dip.

A young monster is getting everything she needs to take a dip: a boat, a toy shark, armbands, goggles, flippers. Once everything is to hand she is ready… to take a bath! The vividly drawn artwork shows each step of the monster’s careful preparations, offering lots of discussion points: is she going for a swim in a pool? In the sea?
