By Jennifer Mook-Sang

Children will love Monty the pirate (who's actually a dog ), and readers with their own fears of learning to swim will relate to his difficulties. Young children will also be delighted by the idea of not having to take a bath The childlike style of Liz Starin's illustrations add a freshness to the story, as does the non-conformist mermaid she's created -- perfect for her character.

This playful book is an excellent choice for story time, reinforcing themes of self-discovery and personal development, as well as character education lessons on courage.
