Reviews

[Sheri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Energetic young boys almost find themselves lost at sea precipitating the need for swimming lessons. As always, the wholesome triplets take it a step further and magically excel at swimming after a few short lessons. Still, a good example of the bad things that can happen all too quickly when out on the water.

Such a charming, idyllic story.

(My copy was missing half of the first page.)

The boys are all taught how to swim by Nick.

I do enjoy them, but the illustrations are ... not all that they could be.

The boys loved this, especially since there are three of them. It's a nice little book that makes me want childhood back just a little bit.
