Don't Be Afraid, Little Pip

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Chapman. Eager to avoid her first swimming lesson in "the cold, dark sea," penguin Pip decides she'd rather learn how to fly. After two failed attempts at soaring through the sky, Pip accidentally lands in the water where a new friend shows her the glories of gliding. Chapman's illustrations showcase the ocean milieu. Occasional singsongy verses enliven the bland text.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
