(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joy Ang. Protesting all the way to the tub, a boy lists one hundred and one reasons why he shouldn't take a bath. The relatable scenario includes many wacky objections (e.g., "the faucet gives me nightmares about waterfalls") before he runs out of steam and just repeats "I don't want to" thirteen times. The humorous cartoon illustrations wordlessly reveal his realization that he actually likes playing in the tub.
