Format:Hardcover
'Connie and the Water Babies' is a story about a girl, named Connie, who is scared of water, because of an incident with her Dad at the swimming pool when she was younger. When her twin baby brother and sister (the 'Water Babies' of the title) are born, they immediatly love water. They get lots of attention, and Connie is ignored. She is jealous, and draws pictures showing the twins being eaten by sharks, whilst in the swimming pool, etc, etc. When Connie's parents see how well the twins have taken to water they think again about letting Connie stay on dry land while the rest of the family swim. They beg, order, and do everything to get Connie to get into the water, but to no avail. In the end...does Connie learn to love her siblings and the water? Or does she stay dry and sulky? You'll just have to read the book to find out! 'Connie and the Water Babies' is suitable for children aged around 4 - 5 to have read to them as a bedtime story, or for children aged 6 - 10 to read by themselves. There are many children, including myself, who disliked water when they were younger, or are still scared when they are older, and this book might be good to coax those who have a mild phobia to go swimming. This story is not as good as some of Jacqueline Wilson's previous works for older children, but this is a good light read for a younger age group.

This is a really great book about a young girl who has two younger siblings who get a lot of attention for learning to swim. But she, when wanting to show everyone that she can swim and they can't, realizes that there is something wrong with her swimming.

Connie and the Water Babies
13 Mar 2000
Format:Audio Cassette
Everybody has a fear. Connie is afraid of water. Mum is afraid of a gerbil. Dad is afraid of the dentist. Gran is afraid of the TV and the video-recorder. Everybody needs someone to help them against their fears. I found that the story was ok.
