Celebrate a day at the pool with lots of friends and toys, races and sky-high squirts.  But wherever you, please don’t splash Grandpa.  Why?  You’ll see!

Gonzalez has a super fun celebration of summer pool time play.  The rhyming text adds to the fun - not a distraction.  Plus listeners will love shouting out “Don’t Splash Grandpa” whenever needed. Srinivasan’s illustrations include wide expanses of blue and splashes, with a wide diversity of kids.
