Our son LOVES this book and asks for it almost daily. We returned it to the library and bought our own copy. He is terrified of swimming pools this summer and perhaps is working through some of his fears. I enjoy the loving looks each family member has for each other in the illustrations, and the text describes the enjoyment the father and daughter get from sharing their love of swimming. The family members left behind are happy for the swimmers even if they are left at home to do mommy baby things. It is lovingly written and illustrated and the reviewers that said nothing exciting happens in it probably enjoy ninja turtle entertainment. Real life and love ARE important and exciting enough for children, at least for us, and our son really enjoys this story.
