The Bathing Costume or The Worst Vacation of My Life by Charlotte Moundlic - - ADVISABLE


Moundlic, Charlotte The Bathing Costume or The Worst Vacation of My Life, illustrated by Olivier Tallec translated from French by Claudia Zoe Bedrick PICTURE BOOK 40 pgs. 2013 Enchanted Lion Books $15.95 

Ronnie is spending his first vacation without his mama.  A week in the country with his grandparents and cousins; it’s bad enough that his cousins treat him like a baby, but when they go swimming, Ronnie discovers he brought his older brothers suit (grandma calls it a bathing costume) and now that he’s 8 he has to jump off the high board.  

This Batchelder honor book about making the best of a bad situation would be a fun choice for the elementary library.
