The Swimming Lesson by Dori Chaconas

lattelibrarian's review against another edition

4.0

I picked this easy reader at random to better familiarize myself with the children's literature collection we have.  Cork and Fuzz seem to be a classic, and certainly relatable given the fact that they're a possum and a muskrat.  As the two navigate their love of games and sports, how can they themselves learn to be good sports when they win and when they lose?  And how do they prevent the other's feelings getting hurt when the other wins?  Filled with vocabulary such as "winning", "games", and "losing", this is a great reader for reinforcing physical activity and some words related to outdoor games.  Overall, it was an enjoyable read!
