This is a scarce copy of this classic and hilarious childrens song illustrated in the pop up book where the spider pops out of the plug hole! So much fun it will have your children giggling away. The Song Goes: \"I like Bunny Rabbits, I like Frogs, I like Pussycats and I like Dogs, Being Friendly to the Animals is easy but a Spider in the Bath, A Spider in the Bath, A creepy crawly, creepy crawly Spider in the Bath. I know he's only there because he wants to have a laugh...'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your child is scared of spiders this is also a great way to help them with their fears as the book is very lighthearted and humorous and the pictures are sweet. A very scarce book to find in the original First Edition, I personally think the illustrations in this one are much nicer than any others. \"Spider, Spider in the Bath\" A Pop Up Book By Ron Van Der Meer Illustrations by Graham Ralph.
