In „Malwine in der Badewanne“ erzählt Steven Kellogg die humorvolle Geschichte von Ulli, einem Jungen, der an seinem Geburtstag ein besonderes Geschenk von seinem Onkel Mac Allister aus Schottland erhält: eine Kaulquappe. Diese Kaulquappe, die den Namen Malwine trägt, entwickelt sich schnell zu einem außergewöhnlichen Wesen, das unaufhörlich Käsebrötchen verschlingt und enorm wächst. Als Malwine schließlich zu groß für das Glas, das Spülbecken und die Badewanne wird, stehen Ulli und seine Familie vor der Herausforderung, was sie mit der ständig wachsenden Kreatur tun sollen. Die Situation eskaliert, als die Eltern beschließen, Malwine in den Zoo zu bringen. Ulli, der an seiner besonderen Freundin hängt, findet jedoch mit Hilfe einer cleveren Freundin eine Lösung. Malwine wird zur Heldin, als sie einen alten Piratenschatz aus dem Hafen hebt und damit ein neues Zuhause für sich selbst finanziert. Kelloggs Erzählung thematisiert die ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zwischen einem Jungen und seiner Kaulquappe und vermittelt wichtige Lektionen über Einfallsreichtum, Zusammenhalt und Fürsorge. Die Geschichte ist nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern regt auch zur Kreativität und Problemlösung an und lehrt Kinder ab 4 Jahren Mitgefühl und das Einstehen für Freunde. Die beeindruckenden Illustrationen bringen die Erzählung lebendig zum Leben und machen sie zu einem zeitlosen Klassiker.
