Sally orders her dog out of the bath, then cannot tell whether the culprit is the dog, Crocodile, Elephant, Kanga or Bear. McMylor's short text sets the dog up as big as an elephant, toothed like a crocodile, hopping like a kangaroo and growling like a bear. Widdowson's watercolour-style pictures follow the joke through the bath, the toy box, scarves for going outside, a bicycle and tooth-brushing, before everyone settles for bed. The cover shows Sally and the black-and-white dog in a bubble bath, framed by crocodile, duck, bear, elephant, boat and kangaroo. The back cover has the dog and a rubber duck, speech bubble "WOOF!", and the original price of £6.99 net. Phil McMylor is a British children's writer active from the early 1990s, known for short picture-book texts for younger readers. Get Out of My Bath! is his 1991 collaboration with Widdowson for André Deutsch Children's Books. He later wrote for Ladybird's Picture Stories and Picture Ladybird lists, including This Way, Little Badger (1996/1997), illustrated by Cliff Wright, in which a young badger faces the dark for the first time and is steadied by his sister. Other titles include A-fiddling We Shall Go (Picture Hippo, 1993), A Roar for Stanley (1994), and early-2000s flap books such as What's That Noise? and Who's the Best. French editions of his work appeared in Flammarion's Benjamin and Castor Poche series, among them Sors de mon bain!, the translation of this title. His books are simple, domestic stories about animals, fear, noise and bedtime, written to be read aloud. Kay Widdowson is a freelance children's illustrator based in Chorlton, Manchester. She studied at Chesterfield College of Art and Design, then worked for about five years as an animator in children's television before going freelance. She has illustrated for André Deutsch, Mammoth, Tango, Oxford University Press and other educational publishers and packagers, with books sold in the UK, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Holland and Canada. Her work is hand-drawn and painted, typically in gouache, felt-tip and coloured pencil. Later titles include Too Loud!, Panda Kisses with Alyssa Satin Capucilli, The Forest Man with Anne Matheson, Reading Champion stories, and Bible and prayer books with Lois Rock. The pictures here are characteristic: soft outlines, clear animal characters, and a pale blue bathroom border of brushes, ducks and bubbles. A scarce-in-fine-condition UK first of an early McMylor-Widdowson picture book. Suitable for ages about three to six. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1791565778626
