Jim is one of three baby crocodiles born to his parents. His sisters follow his parents into the water, but Jim is afraid. His parents are kind, but his sisters make fun of him. Jim creates a plan to learn to swim and looks for a little swamp. He discovers humans swimming with floaties, and when they leave the pool for birthday cake, he jumps in using their floaties. Jim’s sisters find him in the pool and also go swimming. Jim’s claw pops his floatie. Will Jim sink or swim?
Swim, Jim! is delightful and humorous. Children as well as adults will laugh at the familiar antics of Jim and his journey to learn to swim. The illustrations are cute, funny, clever and greatly enhance the story.
