Synopsis
Alice lives in a house by the sea. Snakes and spiders don't scare her, but she's very afraid of the deep ocean water. Her swimming, splashing, diving family urge her to come out and play with them, but no matter how hard she tries, Alice still can't leave the green shallows for the deep. This moving story about a girl besting her fears is matched with warm, light-splashed illustrations.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Although she knows how to swim, Alice, the youngest in her family, is afraid to move beyond the safety of the shallows. Every morning she watches from the jetty as her parents and brothers laugh and splash in the "smooth dark water" and wishes that she could join them. Her anxiety makes her feel frustrated and angry. Then one day, while playing on the beach, she spots a group of dolphins and wades into the ocean. Mesmerized by their antics, she tries to get closer, and is soon surprised to find herself far away from the shore. Exhilaration and pride follow Alice's brief moment of alarm, as she realizes that swimming in the deep is just like swimming in the shallows. Her fear of the ocean depths is nicely balanced by her attraction to its wonders, and the descriptive text gives readers a clear idea of what she is missing by remaining on land. The colorful paintings are filled with excitement and movement, as dolphins, brightly patterned fish, and Alice's exuberant family members cavort against blue and green backdrops. A good selection for collections needing stories about conquering fear.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
