Panel one. A bathroom. We can see the tap end of a bath. A speech bubble reads: “While the humdrum plot, stock characters and simplistic dialogue may irk some readers, perseverance is rewarded in the latter stages of the book…” Panel two. The viewpoint has panned along, we now we the middle of the bath. A rubber duck sits on the side. The speech continues: “ wherein the author makes delightfully playful use of a rubber speaker then literally brings the reader into the story by placing a real mirror on the page!” Panel three. We can now see the last part of the bath. A small baby holding a book is revealed to be the speaker. The baby finishes the review: “… unquestionably one of the great waterproof bathtime books of our time! Five Stars!” ALT
