ABSTRACT:
The squirt book has a squirt pump mounted within it, preferably in the back cover. The covers and pages of the squirt book are equipped with recesses and are sealed against water leakage. The print text and picture illustration are waterproof. The covers and pages are preferably filled with a lightweight fill so as to provide floatation, stiffness and bulk. The recesses are aligned, at least partially, so as to permit a squirt of water to pass from the back cover through any or all pages, without hindrance. The back cover encloses a pump chamber for the squirt pump, which pump has a squirt nozzle and fill valve for automatic or manual refilling. In operation, the child takes the squirt book into the tubful of bath water and reads (or pretends to read). After turning the page to the elephant, for example, the child may squeal and squeeze the book, pretending to be an elephant spraying water from its trunk. Or a whale. Or a fire hose. Or a skunk. Baths can be fun--and educational.
