The appeal of this book, with amateurish pictures and a wooden text, will be that it's an unusual bath booka 10-inch, inflatable ""beanstalk'' rises from the middle spread. But the innovation is not supported by the surrounding material. There are much better vinyl books and toys from which parents might choose. No ages given. (September)
