School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-Another book by the author of Underwater Dogs. As in the previous volume, the vivacious, full-color photos of dogs playing in the water are adorable and the text is easy to read. "Test the water. Dip your toes. Blow some bubbles through your nose!" Despite the festive merrymaking, these super cute canines adhere to the rules: "Some pups paddle in a pair/Swimming buddies love to share/Safety first, it's crystal clear,/Don't swim without/a lifeguard near." VERDICT For fans of the previous title, and for all dog lovers, this entry is sure to make a splash at storytime.-Laura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Fort Thomas, KY © Copyright 2016.

Booklist Review
Casteel once again showcases his formidable talents as a specialist in ultracute photos of dogs underwater. In this latest installment, he pairs bright, usually face-on images of wide-eyed puppies splashing, paddling, and diving to a set of winningly artless rhymes: Run and jump. / Give it your all. / You splash the most when you . . . / CANNONBALL! Floats and pool toys serve as occasional props, and there are no humans in sight. Still, cautionary references to water safety and having a lifeguard on hand, as well as a challenge to Try the deep end when you're ready. / You can make it slow and steady, make the commentary as relevant for two-legged pups as the four-legged sort, as do scenes toward the end of weary pups snoozing on blankets after a hard day of watery fun. A spread with names, ages, and individual portraits of the 37 canine partygoers closes this sunny, splashy celebration.--Peters, John Copyright 2016 Booklist
