No Swimming for Nelly by Valeri Gorbachev
3.0

Age: Toddler-Preschool
Animals: Pigs
Clothing: Swimsuit
Emotion: Being scared
Family: Grandma and granddaughter
Sport: Swimming

Nelly loves her new swimsuit and incessantly wears it. But when Nelly is given a chance to actually take a swim, she has a slew of reasons why she doesn't like the water. Soon Nelly and her mom go to visit Grandma, a champion swimmer, and the visit takes on a special purpose.

The shorter length of the story is perfect for introducing a story with a plot to toddlers and emerging preschool students.
