This approachable book uses a light touch to teach water safety. When a girl and her dragon friend play and swim at the beach, the dragon breaks a few rules but is steered gently in the right direction. While the pencil-crayon art is engaging, the text tries too hard to rhyme. A helpful checklist for parents is appended.
