Zeki Can Swim

Meryl, EY Consultant, LL reviewer Letterbox Library, Zeki is back...and this time, Dad has taken him to the pool! Swim nappy on, this little fish is all ready for the toddler/parent swim class with its kicking, splashy sing-along and water piggybacks!. "I loved this book! Lovely topic, lovely families, lovely images, just lovely! Rich diversity on every page".; Parents in Touch Daddy is going to take Zeki to his swimming lesson tomorrow, so it's time for a splash around in the bath first. The book describes and illustrates just what little ones can expect to happen in their swimming lesson, so it makes a great introduction before the first lesson, which can be quite scary for a young child. Then it's time to get dressed and have a snack in the cafe as the new friends get together. It's great to see the variety of families depicted, and the sheer exuberant joy which shines through the pictures will make swimming lessons very enticing - as well as being essential to ensure children learn water safety.; Zoe Toft Takes a situation familiar to so many young families - baby swim classes - and makes it into a lovely storybook that little ones will love sharing with their grown-ups. I love the diverse range of families, making this a great read for _everyone_. How great, too, to see that it's Dad who takes baby swimming (and is seen reading to the child, as well as enjoying a well-earned coffee & cake in a cafe after swim group!). Cheerful, colourful illustrations with lots of warmth and smiles perfectly capture happy family and friends time. Delightful!
