She looks fabulous, so she wears it all the time-- while riding her bike, eating at a fancy restaurant, playing basketball . . . . She even wears it to bed. But there's one place Nelly won't take her lovely new suit: swimming. No way She will not get in the water. But Grandma, a swimming champion, has other ideas. And with Grandma's loving help, Nelly gives it a try-- dipping one toe in at a time, blowing bubbles, and learning to float. Soon Nelly is on the way to becoming a champion swimmer herself This sweet story about trying new things encourages young readers to take the plunge- and find new ways to have fun Valeri Gorbachev's signature illustrations are cozy and warm, making this a gentle, encouraging read for any young ones anxious about new experiences. |
