A summer swim becomes a lesson in teamwork

On a hot day, Squirrel dives into a lake to cool off, while Fox, Crow, and Mouse hesitate to get wet. When Squirrel needs help getting out, his friends step in, bringing the story’s focus to cooperation and care for one another. The lakeside setting also gives this picture book a simple way to invite attention to nature and the pleasures of a summer day. A surprise at the end rounds out the friends’ shared adventure.
