From what to wear (a bathing suit, of course!) to what to expect (no, your teacher will not be a mermaid), 3, 2, 1 Jump! covers the what if's and how to's of getting in the pool for the first time. There's a lot to worry about (Can I be sucked into the filter) and even more to be excited about (When can I wear flippers), and our narrator has thought of everything. By the time she's ready, you to will want to jump in!

"Pair this with Cornwall's Jabari Jumps for an encouraging primer before kiddos head off to make their big splash." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)
