It's time for diving lessons, but Little Loon is too nervous. When Papa shows him how to tuck in his feathers and dip down into the water, Little Loon rushes away without trying. But then GRUFFLE, SNUFFLE, GROWL!--things become even more startling when Papa's not close by. And as Little Loon hears the reassuring call of his father, he's finally ready to take his first dive. This warm, genuine tale of fatherly guidance and support is just right for Father's Day--or any day when a young reader is on the verge of learning a new skill. Toni Buzzeo and Margaret Spengler's previous collaboration, Dawdle Duckling, was dubbed "smile-provoking" by Booklist and "immensely satisfying" by Publishers Weekly.
