I am looking for a children book I had in my childhood all I remember is that there was a peeking mouse on a hole on a wall, an old man, a cat and a bathtub. The old man was in the bathtub. The art was amazing almost vector style. I was maybe 5 or 4 when I had this book I wish I remember its title I know it was vintage between 1960 to maybe 1978 I had this book in the 80s.
I think this might be the book I’m looking for. I had it in the late 80’s. There was an old man in the tub, and I think he was holding a big scrub brush. He was bald on top. At one point he got out of the tub and was running in his robe and slippers. I seem to remember the general theme being safety? There was a fire in this apartment building, a flood (or overflowing bathtub), and one part where these kids stick a paperclip into an electrical outlet. Maybe that was what started the fire.
Is this book KING BIDGOOD’S IN THE BATHTUB by Audrey Wood (illustrated by Don Wood)?
This might be “The Great Green Mouse Disaster”, a long-forgotten favorite on these boards!
