Review
Going to the pool with small kids really is like this, from the start when you battle in a tiny cubicle to get everybody's layers off, to the water which is never warm enough, to the fight back in the changing rooms when everyone can hear you shrieking at your toddler to get away from the drain. Yet it feels so satisfying afterwards. --Families South East

Lovely book for a large age-range
I love these sarah garland books but my daughter particularly loves this one as it is about somewhere that we actually go and she can relate to the excitement and anticipation. The pictures are great and because there's so little text you can either just look at the scenes or chat to your child about what's happening. I highly recommend them. This series is a nice size and in hardback so is reasonably durable too. The mother in these books is my secret role-model!!!
