Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim
Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim is a child’s first guide to water safety. The book tells the story of Stewie, a duck who wants to swim with the ‘big ducks,’ but must learn water safety rules before he can get in the water. It is written for children ages two through six and includes read-to-me audio, interactive animations, sound effects, a memory game, and a sing-along. The memory game and sing-along allow children to reinforce the water safety rules through repetition. The read-to-me audio option allows parents and children to enjoy the story together and pause at the end of each page for discussion. The app also includes a read myself option where the child can interact with objects and find hidden duckies. The auto play option is perfect for car rides, providing a complete book experience. Additionally, the book includes tips for parents from Stew and Kim, who lost their own child in a drowning accident. These tips, along with water safety information and a letter from a child psychologist, encourage parents to make water safety a habit to keep their children safe.
