A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Tuck the pig is learning to swim. He doesn't like it, can't bear the thought of water in his eyes and ears. . . . Cheerful, funny pictures in watercolor and pencil show pink pigs splashing about while Tuck inches his way gingerly into the water. . . . In a simple plot twist, Tuck loses his lucky spider and has to dive down to get it-underwater and with his eyes open. Children afraid of water will find comfort in the acceptance of Tuck's fear and in the story of how he finds it in himself to be brave." Booklist, ALA

"There's a sympathetic and concise aptness to the text that makes the story ruefully endearing as well as readily understandable. The watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork, tidily boxed on every page, shows amusingly angular porkers who nonetheless possess a bit more texture and gravity than their often cartoonish picture-book cousins. . . . This will make a nice splash." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Présentation de l'éditeur

The only thing Tuck doesn't like about swimming lessons is the water. He worries that water might get in his ears and feel awful. Or it might get in his eyes! "You'll get used to that," says his mom. "Your eyes are waterproof," says his swim teacher. "I'm not going swimming," says Tuck. So no one is more surprised than Tuck when he heroically takes the plunge--and finds out he can get into the swim of things after all.
