BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
Chip the Penguin is not excited about swim class, so they decide to pretend to have “fin flop” in order to get out of it. Mom takes them to class anyway. Lucy also isn’t swimming and they talk about all of the reasons they don’t want to get in the pool. When the other swimmers look like they are having so much fun, however, are the two ready to conquer their fears?
A fun Level 2 reader, with a good story for independent readers to enjoy on their own. It's funny having a penguin afraid of cold water. Utah seems to have a proliferation of swim schools now, so Frost’s story could help lots of little ones get into the water.
