The Coronado Kid Dick Belkin

In the town of Coronado, there's not a lot of fear. As a matter of fact, for the Coronado Kid, there's nothing he won't go near! The navy seals come running through the town all the time. Which is why for the Kid, his biggest dream is to be a seal. There just happens to be one problem: flip-a-flap-a-phobia. Flip-a-flap-a-phobia is a horrible thing to have, especially for one who wants to become a navy seal and go diving into the sea so bad. Swim fins may not seem like so scary a thing, but the sound they make is as bad as can be. Flip-a-flap-a, flip-a-flap-a. The sound is much too much. But if he wants to be a navy seal, get over it he must. Flip-a-flap-a-phobia by Richard Belkin is a wonderful children's book for early readers to enjoy by themselves or with their parents.
