Whoosh!: A Watery World of Wonderful Creatures<\/a>
\nby Marilyn Baillie (Author) and Susan Mitchell (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> A wonderful, whimsical exploration of various animals in the water and the ways in which children can, and do, mimic them! Each spread features an animal in a watery scene opposite a child mimicking the animal\u2019s activity in some way. From splashing like a dolphin to fishing like a heron, from snoozing like an alligator to hiding like a clownfish, the echoing images bring to life the real ways that animals behave \u2014 and reveal how there\u2019s a little bit of animal in all of us. The book closes with a \u201cGuess What?\u201d section that provides brief and quirky facts about the animals featured throughout.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a river otter pup. My mom pulls me into the chilly water for my first swimming lesson. Patiently, she teaches me to paddle and dive. Look at me float!<\/p>\n

Jump in the WATER and Join the Fun!<\/strong>
\nRead the rebus at the back of the book and try all of the ways to get up and move, such as scuttling like a crab or waddling like a penguin.<\/p>\n
