My boy of 5 has always struggled with water in general and swimming has been difficult. He was reliant on rubber rings and armbands to keep him up out of the water but obviously this made learning to swim properly impossible. After spending a week on holiday and a majority of time in a pool his confidence had increased massively so when we got back I wanted to keep his confidence levels high and I found this little gem. After just 2 separate hours in the local pool he was swimming properly and was even able to go in the pool without an aid. He is so proud of himself and now loves swimming (and being a shark!). I can't recommend this enough!

Great bedtime read
I read Tom Fletcher's Christmasauras books to my little boy at bedtime and they were really fantastic reads!! This compelled us to look for more books by the same author and came upon this book. It is written in a slightly different style but is stiff a fun read and includes some of the same characters and place names which my boy loved. It is definitely a little more scary than the other books as it talks about monsters under the bed but with plenty of comedy included is doesn't make going to sleep any more difficult.
Were not finished with the book yet but so far it has been well worth the money.
