Description of The Pool Is Cool
This bounce-to-the-beat picture book by America’s favorite rapping teacher follows a young son who helps his father overcome his fear of swimming.
Bloop. Dribble. Drip. Drizzle. Splish. Spray. Splash!
I’m here with my dad in this cool swimming class!
But I can tell something’s wrong and that this isn’t him,
Cuz my dad makes every excuse not to swim.
I wish I could convince him THE POOL IS COOL!
With rhyming text and vibrant illustrations that capture the essence of summer, this tender story about a father and son will encourage confident and reluctant swimmers alike to overcome their fears one stroke at a time.
