First swimming lessons can be exciting and terrifying, but this joyful
and imaginative guide from Lisl H. Detlefsen, illustated by Madeline
Valentine, shows young readers how to conquer the pool.
From what to wear (a bathing suit, of course!) to what to expect (no,
your teacher will not be a mermaid), 1, 2, 3, Jump! covers the
what-if's and how-to's of getting in the pool for the first time.
There's a lot to worry about (can I be sucked in the filter?) and even
more to be excited about (when can I wear flippers?), and our narrator
has thought of everything. By the time she's ready, you to will want to
jump in!
