The Fearful Cow. Little animals in the Water

La vaca temerosa – Animalitos al agua is a soft, waterproof bath book designed especially for babies and toddlers from 0 to 2 years. Published by Lobo Feroz within the “Animalitos al agua” collection, it transforms everyday bath time into a short, playful reading ritual. The compact 15 × 15 cm format and just 6 light pages fit perfectly in small hands and in the bathtub. 

At the centre of the book is a little cow that is initially afraid of water. Page by page, the illustrations show how this timid cow slowly discovers that splashing, floating and playing with bubbles can be safe and fun. The simple scenes help the smallest readers relate to the character and feel more confident in their own bath routine.

The book is made as a “libro para baño” – a bath book with soft plastic pages that resist water, soap and enthusiastic chewing. Parents can let the child explore it freely while they wash, creating a relaxed, positive association with water. The rounded corners and flexible material are comfortable to grasp and suitable for sensory play. 

The text is in Spanish, but it is very short and easy to understand, so families can adapt the story to their own routine, add sounds and gestures, or translate on the fly. This makes La vaca temerosa a practical choice for bilingual homes or for parents who want to introduce simple Spanish words through daily habits.

Because of its durable format, the book is ideal as a first book for the bathtub, a small gift for a baby shower, or an addition to any 0–2 years library focused on sensory, interactive titles. Combine it with other “Animalitos al agua” books to create a small collection of water-loving characters that will accompany your child during bath time for a long period.
