The authors of this book list them selves as `The Shir Family' and indeed Dina and Andrey, the parents, have put in to book form (with the fine assistance of illustrator Tathagata Mandal) stories similar to those that entertained and educated their own children with bedtime stories when they were younger.Summer in Kaypozatsiya and Donny and Michelle, two adorable little bunnies, are taken tot the swimming pool for an outing. The pool is big and beautiful and guarded by Bunny Rescuers. The pool has an adult deep end and a shallow children's end and The Bunny family changes and prepares to approach the pool. Donny is eager to try the water but Michelle is afraid. When her father stood in the shallow end he reassures Michelle that he will hold her and teach her to swim.  Placing floaters on her arms he introduces her into the pool and gradually teaches her to swim. Both Michelle and Donny learn to look underwater, dive and swim, and they had such a great time they didn't want to leave!This is a well-written and beautifully illustrated book - and one that addresses a problem all children encounter - and makes it an adventure of fun!
