It's time for Mike Swan's first swimming lesson. But Mike doesn't want to go. He's afraid of the water. What if there are alligators? What if there's a hole in the pool and he swims to China? His best friend, Lizzie, tries to help, but she already knows how to swim. His Dad offers an ice-cream treat as a reward. But it's really Mike's own determination--along with inspiration from a peanut butter and baloney sandwich--that keeps him afloat when his only choice is to sink or swim.

Afraid to Swim?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mike Swan, Sink or Swim (First Choice Chapter Book) (Paperback)
Then you, and other young readers will identify with Mike Swan as he persists in overcoming his fear of the water. A well written early chapter book that young readers will enjoy as they master reading as well as swimming!
