오늘은 학교에서 수영을 배우는 날입니다. 물이라면 질색을 하는 스플랫도 어쩔 수 없이 수영장에 갈 수 밖에 없었지요. 그런데 이 세상에 무서울 것이라고 없을 것 같은 스파이크도 스플랫과 마찬가지로 물을 싫어하네요. 결국 윔피딤플 선생님네 아이들은 모두 물에 들어갔습니다만, 스플랫과 스파이크만 수영장 밖에서 서로 먼저 들어가라고 미루면서 둘만 남게 되었습니다. 스플랫은 물고기 캔디를 낚시대에 달아 스파이크 눈 앞에 흔들어서 스파이크가 수영장 안에 들어가도록 한 후 자신도 용기를 내서 풍덩 뛰어들었지만...

Book Description
Splat does not want to have a playdate with Spike. Spike will break his toys and eat all of his candy fish! And he does not want to learn how to swim-water is horrible, scary, and wet! He's sure that this is going to be the worst day ever. But when the rest of their classmates rush straight into the pool, Splat and Spike find that they may have more in common than they thought. Will Splat overcome his fear of water and get into the pool? And how can he help Spike to do the same?


Publishers Weekly
In his fifth tale, Splat the cat has a fit when he finds out that Spike is coming for an after-school play date: "He's a show-off. He calls me names. And he doesn't like me." The day goes from bad to worse when his class heads to the swimming pool (Splat hates water), but when Spike reveals that he's as scared as Splat is, the petrified frenemies - decked out in arm floaties and inner tubes - help each other overcome their fears. Bug-eyed Splat and his fellow kitties practically pounce off of Scotton's characteristically cool, pale backgrounds. Encouraging without being syrupy, Splat's latest adventure might just inspire those who hesitate poolside to take the plunge.


School Library Journal
Splat and Spike are back in a new adventure. Splat is having his worst day ever. Spike, who calls him names, eats his candy fish, and breaks his toys, is coming for a mother-arranged playdate. But first it's learn-to-swim day at Cat School. Splat hates water, "Water is horrible. It's scary and wet and makes me soggy." It turns out that he isn't alone in his feelings. When he realizes that Spike is also afraid of water, he helps him overcome his fear by luring him into the pool with a candy fish. In the end, the felines discover that water tickles and really is fun. At their playdate, Spike breaks only one toy and gives Splat the perfect gift - swim trunks. The characters' wonderful facial expressions carry the story while the integration of the text and illustrations is seamless.


Children's Literature
Lovable, fun, Splat is back in a new book about facing fears and making new friends. Splat is rudely awoken from his candy fish dream by his mother who reminds him that today is the day of his play date with Spike. Spike will break all of his toys and eat all of his fish candy. To make matters worse, today is the first day of swim lessons at school. It is not going to be a good day for Splat. He is not surprised when most of his classmates rush into the water at swim lessons. He is left on the side of the pool in his fuzzy bathing suit, afraid to enter the water. But he is not alone. Spike is also afraid to enter the water and the two find they have something in common. It is up to Splat to face his fear of the water, at the same time figuring out how to help Spike. This book is cute and funny and will leave readers with a positive feeling. The illustrations are beautiful and add even more humor and meaning to the story. Readers, from toddlers to school-age children, will love this newest title in the "Splat the Cat" series.
