REVIEWS
“Sue Whiting captures all the excitement of looking forward to experiencing something new, and all the trepidation.” Louise Pfanner Junior Books+Publishing
“… This is a sweet, gentle story that explores the theme of fears and overcoming those fears. While it’s a terrific choice for reluctant swimmers, it is also a great pick for young kids who are looking forward to their first summer on the beach. Special mention must be made of Thomas’s superb illustrations … she has captured the movement of water to perfection.” Babyology
“This is a beautifully illustrated book depicting Bruno and his family as they visit the beach for the first time … With summer upon us, this is a great book for children who are scared of the ocean. Bruno overcomes his fear and enjoys a family day at the beach.” KP Reading Time
“… sure to be another timeless classic from Walker Books …” Creative Kids Tales Georgie Donaghey
” … a superb little slice of summertime fun and perfect to read with pre-schoolers, beach lovers and those still slightly wary of the surf …” Boomerang Blog Dimity Powell
