Summary:
Swim Safe Little Seals uses a quirky seal from the seal swim school to explain the importance of water safety. They discuss things like when to wear a life jacket, what to do if you need help in the water, and entering the water safely. 

The pictures help emphasize the importance of water safety by including pool report cards throughout the book. This helps students see the safety rules in a list form as well as showing that all the seals are following the rules.

Evaluation: Students could discuss why it is important to be safe near the water and also how to be safe near the water. This book would be especially useful before a field trip somewhere where there would be water. Learners could look at the pictures and point out examples of the seals making unsafe decisions and also safe decisions.
