BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
A young girl has taken swimming lessons, but the teachers did not make it very fun. On the dock at a summer cabin, she dips her toe in the water wondering if she wants to go in the water. She sees a turtle dive and some fish go swishing by. She wonders if she could swim like them? She decides to try. She copies a duck and floats. She thinks of other animals and tries to copy them. Has swimming become more fun? What has she discovered?
Singer gives us a clever story to help kids try new skills and develop more confidence while swimming. Uribe's illustrations beautifully express the exhilaration and relaxation of enjoying the water.
