A perfectly simple board book that lets the child take charge of bathtime.

Helper and HelperBy Joy Cowley,
illustrated by Gavin Bishop
A new book in Joy Cowley’s internationally bestselling series about friends Snake and Lizard! Two very different creatures learn about the give-and-take of friendship in these warm and funny stories set in the desert.
Snake and Lizard are loved by six year olds through to ninety year olds—they have a place in every New Zealand family.
Snake is elegant and calm, and a little self-centred; Lizard is exuberant and irrepressible. With Helper and Helper, Joy Cowley has written a funny, warm, and wise new installment in the relationship of this popular pair as Snake and Lizard find their friendship tested in new ways. The stories are beautifully illustrated by Gavin Bishop in warm and clear colours of the desert.
“Everyone fell in love with this foolish, argumentative pair when their first book of stories won the NZ Post Book of the Year award. And they continue to entrance us” John McIntyre, The Children’s Bookshop
