Flipflop's First Swim

Waddle, slippery slip, skid, skidaddle! Off goes Flipflop for her first swimming lesson but the water looks so far down from the edge of the ledge. After a couple of abortive attempts and a bit of help from Little Seal, Flipflop finds herself 'Flap, flap, flippering': a good attempt at penguin paddle points out a friendly albatross, who goes on to tell her about real swimming. Then, it's not long before young Flipflop is backstroking and backflipping with the best of the aquatic animals. A lovely story, full of warmth and gentle humour. Ideal for sharing with nursery and infant children, especially those just taking their first plunge into the world of school.
