"Sergio Makes a Splash" by Edel Rodriguez is an adorable story of a penguin who must overcome his fear of swimming. The story begins with an introduction of Sergio who loves soccer, fish and the water (drinking and bath tub) just as long as it is not deep enough to swim in. When his teacher announces they will be having a class trip Sergio is thrilled until he discovers the location will be the Ocean. It is only when Sergio realizes that the Ocean is full of things he loves that he decides to give it chance.
I loved this book so much that I must of read it at least thirty times in the short period we had it. The illustrations are beautifully done and add so much to the story. I would recommend this book for a preschool story time or as a one on one book with younger kids.
Some story time themes that would pair well with this book are: Birds, Penguins, Fear and Water.
