This review is from: I'm Safe in the Water (I'm Safe Series) (Paperback)
This is the second I'm Safe! book I've bought for my daughter, who is 6. She loves hearing about Kip and Kayla, the brother and sister in the book. In I'm Safe! In the Water, Kayla and Kip get to take swimming lessons; however Kayla is a little afraid of the water. We are taken along with them on their first class, and by learning what to expect to happen during her swim classes, my daughter's own fears were allayed. In the story, Kayla is given a water situtation in which she does not feel helpless, thus, the next time she goes to her swim class, she is not scared. That is the crux of the I'm Safe! series: teaching children how to respond to situations that they may be unsure of, or may find scary. The Gordon's do this in such a way that the reader is never scared, but feels empowered right along with Kip and Kayla. I recommend these books highly, and so does my daughter.
