Reviews

With repetition and sprinklings of rhyme, and Lisa Allen’s distinctive pastel colors and gentle and positive style, The Littlest Lifeguard is a perfect summer read for the ‘Littlest’ in homes or schools.” —What Book Next?

“A notable feature of this charming book is that both Vanessa Hatley-Owen’s text and Lisa Allen’s illustrations carefully avoid indicating whether the littlest lifesaver is a boy or a girl. They could be either – and it doesn’t matter. The little ball of enthusiasm is definitely part of the team.” —The Source
