What is The Boy Who Wouldn't Swim about?

Electric, sherbet-y colors, uniquely comic characters, and a story line filled with high comedy mark this fabulous picture book by new talent Deb Lucke. Eric Dooley just wonвЂTMt swim. If sweating in the hot summer sun while everyone else cools off in the pool isnвЂTMt bad enough, EricвЂTMs younger sister is having the time of her life. When he sees her dog-paddling right across the middle of the pool, under his sunblock heвЂTMs positively green with envy. Not to mention sweaty. And irritated. But after the babies in the wading pool give him dirty looks for invading their territory, Eric finds a way to conquer his fears. And just like that he goes from being the boy who wouldnвЂTMt swim . . . to being the boy who wonвЂTMt get out of the pool. Not even in October. From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 2—Eric absolutely will not go in the water. Instead, he stays on the pool sidelines, sweltering, with his giraffe float firmly around his waist. When his younger sister takes the plunge, Eric fumes. But rather than showing her that he can do it, too, he pesters her from the safety of the pool deck. Toward summer's end, he finally decides it's time to put his toe in the wate
