One day with the help of a floatie he buys with his own money from the tooth fairy, he enters the water. And within the safety of the swim ring all is well except he can't dive, or play ball, or even splash about. Still he doesn't give up. Without the floatie he climbs the ladder to the top of the diving board and slowly counts to three and jumps! Unfortunately, he sinks and has to be rescued. This little crocodile hated the cold, wet water, but something wonderful and strange happened. His nose began to tickle. And the tickle grew into a firey AAAACHOOO! Who needs swimming when you can make your own fireworks! That's all the hint I'll give you. Next time you're in the library check it out or reserve it from home at www.library.pima.gov. The illustrations are charming, colorful, and quite funny. Gemma Merino has a created a gem of a story. Here are a few more great summertime reads to share with your little ones, whether or not they like the water.
