Synopsis

In this bouncy, fun-to-read-aloud story, a young energetic child relieves restlessness by climbing onto a tire swing and flying off on many wild imaginative adventures. The child imagines blasting into outer space, surfing a giant wave, swinging through the jungle, and many other exciting settings. As readers attempt to guess what creative worlds the child might enter into next. they will delight in how the tire swing is incorporated differently in each fantastic world created by the child. Finally, the child return to earth, flops into bed and dreams of flying high in the sky once more. At the back of the book, there are additional fun and creative educational activities for children, parents, and educators to enjoy.
