Surf's Up — Karen S. McGowan; Dennis E. McGowan

Lizzy Jolly thinks that it is important for everyone to have a goal -- even her younger brother, Ben. Kelly, their cute dachshund, didn't want Lizzy bugging her about not having goals. So Kelly hopped out of the birdbath, where she had been cooling off, and wrote a poem about goals. Then she decided to sign up for swimming lessons. Kelly is shocked to learn that the only swim instructors are Fang, the ornery cat, or Tommy Turtle, the slow moving green rock.
Oh, no! This is horrendous! What will Kelly do? Will she ever learn to swim? You will have to read the book to find out.
Surf's Up is another outstanding Jolly Time Books: Dog Squad presentation, loaded with edgy humor yet heartfelt wisdom. Jolly Time Books are full of individually hand-drawn vivid and colorful illustrations that will spark the imagination of any child.
