BookReview: Swim Little Wombat Swim ~ Charles Fuge
 

Swim Little Wombat Swim ~ Written & Illustrated by Charles Fuge

Oh this book is brilliant :D .. and for Children who are just embarking on their first swimming lessons it is excellent ...



The story follows Wombat as he meets a Platypus ... Platypus dives into the river and swims off without a second thought ~ Wombat assumes he can easily do the same ... :no:

Luckily, Platypus comes back and saves Wombat, helping him get to the edge of the river bank. He then shows him some techniques on how to swim. :highfive:

By holding the reeds on the bank .. Wombat learns to kick his feet to make him move through the water, and using a log as a float he learns how to stay up on top of the water :D

Koala and Rabbit both happen along and end up cheering their friend on as he and Platypus have a race ...
