Swim, Mo, Swim! - (Mo Jackson) by David A Adler

About the Book

On Field Day, Mo swims a lot faster than he knew he could, not because his team might win but because a fish keeps nibbling his toe.

Book Synopsis

Mo is going swimming in the perenially popular, Geisel Award-winning readers series by David A. Adler, now with a fresh look!

It's Field Day at summer camp and Mo's group, the Guppies, is competing for extra ice cream! He and his friends are doing their best at everything from the three-legged race to the potato sack race, and as the day nears its end, each group has won one medal each. It's all on Mo to break the tie in the final event: swimming!

Review Quotes

"Another winning title in the popular series." --School Library Journal

"Simple in its storytelling, strong in its diversity, this is an entertaining as well as enlightening read." --Kirkus Reviews

"The youngest, smallest kid on each team, Mo works hard to learn and improve his skills. Who could begrudge this unlikely sports hero the good luck that comes his way in each book? Not a kid who's working hard to master a similarlycomplex, difficult challenge: learning to read." --Booklist
