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.
