Bubble Gum Bison will do just about anything to avoid taking a bath in this humorous picture book from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald.

Bubble Gum Bison, Blue Bison’s little sister, is having too much fun with her playground associates to take time out for a bath. In fact, she escapes through the bathroom window to avoid the inevitable.  But when Bubble Gum Bison slips in the mud, gets covered with bubble gum, and has bird feathers stuck all-over her, she finally decides its time for a bath. But, what’s this? There’s no water! Could Blue Bison’s ramming habit have anything to do with the hole in the water tank?

A wildly hilarious story with a subtle message that an unconventional solution can solve an unconventional problem. Bubble Gum Bison Needs a Bath is the perfect companion to Scott Rothman and Pete Oswald’s  previous collaboration Blue Bison Needs a Haircut, praised by Kirkus Reviews as "This one puts the ha in 'haircut'—be prepared to snuggle up and laugh often."
"Readers will wish all bad days were as fun as the one depicted here." —Kirkus Reviews
