Review
"Tuck the pig is learning to swim. He doesn't like it, can't bear the thought of water in his eyes and ears. . . . Cheerful, funny pictures in watercolor and pencil show pink pigs splashing about while Tuck inches his way gingerly into the water. . . . In a simple plot twist, Tuck loses his lucky spider and has to dive down to get it-underwater and with his eyes open. Children afraid of water will find comfort in the acceptance of Tuck's fear and in the story of how he finds it in himself to be brave." "There's a sympathetic and concise aptness to the text that makes the story ruefully endearing as well as readily understandable. The watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork, tidily boxed on every page, shows amusingly angular porkers who nonetheless possess a bit more texture and gravity than their often cartoonish picture-book cousins. . . . This will make a nice splash."
