“Amanda Panda Discovers the Wonderful World of Water”

Theme

Amanda Panda has a fear of water. Her friends take her on a journey during which she learns about life in and around the water. Along the way, she realizes the importance of water to our everyday lives. By journey’s end, Amanda is enthusiastic about learning to swim.

This is a fun, educational book for a wide range of ages. While it is an excellent tool for encouraging young children to learn to swim, it also contains interesting facts about animals. Because each page includes translations in Spanish and French, children who are learning these languages can use it as a linguistics tool.

All ages will enjoy this story of friendship. Amanda is able to conquer her fear of water because she is given love and encouragement from her friends.
