1,
2, 3, Jump! covers the what
ifs and how to's of getting into the swimming pool for the very first time. First you need a suit. (No, not a three piece
fancy dress suit!) You’ll need a cap. (No, not a baseball cap.) Some Goggles
are helpful. (But flying goggles will not work in a pool full of water!) At
your first lesson you’ll meet your teacher and other students. You’ll learn how to blow bubbles. You’ll
learn the rules. But no one will make
you get into the water until you are completely ready!
1,
2, 3, Jump! is the picture
perfect book to help little ones understand and relieve their fears of swim lessons. Humor as well as detailed explanation is used
to help explain exactly what happens during a lesson. The character that is cautious and afraid of
the water is absolutely adorable! The
colors are bright and fun. The story is
educational and exciting.
