Mommy and Daddy introduce their 2 year old daughter to the big pool. Pretty Kayleigh loves the water and is not afraid at all. The brightly colored pink floaters are fun to use without fully understanding the theory behind using them. With parents close by, Kayleigh doesn't need their help jumping into the pool. Success! She's not scared to get her face wet or go under the water... But now she has a sad face... Wonder why? Cute story with pretty pictures!

Fun book for kids who have begun reading a bit more challenging books. This is a great one for those past the early reader stage and teaches children how to grow in experience even if they have a fear or two about trying bigger challenges. great pictures and a fun story by an author who has several amazing books.

This review is from: Children's Book: First Time At The Pool: Beautifully Illustrated Summer Swimming Book (A Kayleigh Series 4) (Kindle Edition)

Children's Book: First Time At The Pool: Beautifully Illustrated Summer.... writing by RyAnn Hall was an exciting read.

I love water such as Kayleigh does, this well writing and illustrated book drowned out the heat of the summer and cooled me off.
I enjoyed the way the author used simple but elegant wording. I enjoyed the illustrations and how natural the flow went. This is a summer vacation read and an exciting one at that!

First Time At The Pool: Beautifully Illustrated Summer Swimming Book (A Kayleigh Series 4)
Illustrated very colorful children's book about Kayleigh's first time in the big pool. She is only 2 years old but is familiar with the child pool she plays in.
Things are put in place to make this a safe adventure.
She wants to do the things the bigger girls are doing-diving in and her parents make sure she is safe. She likes playing with the pool toys also.
other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
