There is a whole series of these books and I've given them all 5 stars. This one doesn't disappoint - another winner!! Various swimming events are included with the story given in rhyme. My 8-year-old son and his friends all fight over them at the library, so I've been buying them as the different seasons come up and now as they become available. Can't wait for the next one!

This is the newest edition in the Dino-Sports series. Dino-Swimming is a cute rhyming book that tells the tale of the land sharks vs the algae eaters dinosaurs. They participate in many different swimming events to see who will be winner.Triceratops is disqualified for switching lanes, naughty T-Rex knocks one of the Ptero twins into the pool, and one of the largest dinosaurs displaces all of the water during the diving event.The story is told in rhyme which makes it easy to read and fun to listen to. The illustrations are amazing. Lots of colour and expression. The dinosaurs are cartoon like, so they are not scary for the little ones. A cute series for young readers, especially those that love dinosaurs.

This book is just as good as my favorite earlier books. Once again, Lisa Wheeler is able to explain the basics of swim meets while weaving together a fun competition between the meat-eaters and the plant-loving dinosaurs. There is even the introduction of a new dinosaur, which was cool.My son and I have started keeping track of which group wins in each book and seeing who wins the overall series of whichever set of books we read during that sitting. We really should own these books. They're so awesome. I may need to break down and buy some for Christmas this year.If you have a sport-loving kid in your life, I strongly recommend these books! Dino-Swimming was so fun. And the teaser at the end is Dino-Racing, which will likely be our household favorite when it comes out (date unannounced) as my son is obsessed with Cars, Cars 2, and racing in general.[...]

All these books are great. There hot at the media center in school and hard to check out so it's nice to be able to have them at home.
