“Animals like to get clean/ just like you and me,” concludes Barner’s survey of critter hygiene. “When you take a bath today,/ which one will you be?” With prompting from genial, generously scaled collages, readers can let their bathtub imaginations run wild, imagining that they’re eels that “clean pointy teeth/ with some help from tiny shrimp” or monkeys who “groom messy hair/ to start the monkey day.”
