Bernard will not take his bath. So his family tries to make the bath as inviting as possible for the baby elephant. Mama pours in bubble bath, Papa adds a rubber ducky. Grandma offers a toy boat. Still, Bernard says, "No bath." Then Papa has an idea. He dives into the tub to show Bernard that bath time is fun time. Soon Mama and Grandma dive into the tub as well, trumpeting and blowing water from their trunks and playing with Bernard's toys. Everyone is having lots of fun. Now Bernard wants to jump in the water, too.
