Cantaloupe and HoneyDo Go for a Swim




Two hilarious melons try new things in the picture book series from the bestselling illustrator of I Don't Want to be a Frog

HoneyDo is ready for the pool! Except he doesn't know how to swim. Pal Cantaloupe will show him: Getting in the water is major—and it's okay to slide in slow. Next, floating—glorious! And even better with practice. Finally, blowing bubbles—it's a win! But also smart to come up for air. Is it too soon for HoneyDo to have an eye on that high dive?

Meet Cantaloupe and HoneyDo. Cantaloupe brings the caution and HoneyDo the confidence (usually!). Together, they’re learning what they can’t do, at least not at first, and what they totally can—with a little practice, a little care, and two smart melons. With friends like these, new things are can-do.
