Reach for this book when your child views a routine bath as a high stakes emotional crisis or struggles with sensory anxiety related to hygiene. It provides a hilarious, low pressure way to talk about facing fears that feel monumental to a child but might seem small to others. The story follows Sock Monkey, a toy actor who has been nominated for a prestigious award but must confront his ultimate dread, the bathtub, to look his best for the red carpet. Cece Bell uses a deadpan, slightly absurd humor that validates a child's big feelings without being dismissive. The book explores themes of bravery, friendship, and the personal pride that comes from overcoming a difficult task. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating early independence and learning that being brave doesnt mean you arent scared, it just means you do the scary thing anyway.
