Summary

An important book about perceptions of safety vs real safety around water, and because it’s engaging and playful, children will get the message without feeling like they’re being schooled...

Gus Davis is an irrepressible French Bulldog who believes he can do anything—including swim. His best (human) friend, Bean, knows that it’s impossible for bulldogs to swim: their legs are too short, their noses are too flat, and their bodies are too pudgy! The problem is that Gus isn’t having any of it. But Bean is caring and smart. She figures out the problem and comes up with a solution so that Gus can splash around safely. And Gus? Well, of course, he knew he could swim all along. This delightful story about how we all get by with a little help from our friends provides an opportunity to talk about swimming and water safety in a way that is playful, humorous, and engaging.

Author Biography

Laurie Tumble Davis is a book lover who lives in Hopkinton, Massachusetts with her family. They spend their summers on Cape Cod at Schoolhouse Pond, where Gus, her French bulldog, believed he was the best swimmer on the pond. And he was. . . especially when wearing his life jacket! Although this is her debut picture book, Laurie is no stranger to the world of books and book selling. She has worked for Barnes & Noble coordinating author appearances in New England. She has also done publicity and promotions in news media. Paulette Bogan is the author and illustrator of many beloved books for children, including Virgil & Owen, Virgil & Owen Stick Together, and Bossy Flossy. She lives in New York City with her family. They spend their summers at the Jersey Shore, where Moof, her Havanese, is afraid of the water and doesn’t like sand on his paws.
