PreS-Gr 1—Another book by the author of Underwater Dogs. As in the previous volume, the vivacious, full-color photos of dogs playing in the water are adorable and the text is easy to read. "Test the water. Dip your toes. Blow some bubbles through your nose!" Despite the festive merrymaking, these super cute canines adhere to the rules: "Some pups paddle in a pair/Swimming buddies love to share/Safety first, it's crystal clear,/Don't swim without/a lifeguard near."
VERDICT For fans of the previous title, and for all dog lovers, this entry is sure to make a splash at storytime.
Reviewed by Laura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Fort Thomas, KY
Casteel (Underwater Dogs) "taught swimming lessons to over 1,500 puppies" to get this book's impressive, entertaining photos of pooches frolicking poolside and underwater. The rhymes aren't exactly the life of the party ("Nice move, puppy! You've got style. / Now let's see your underwater smile"), but dog-loving little kids will show up for the adorable images. A "guest list" identifies the puppies.
