Scramble is a little otter who can`t swim. At the beginning of the story, we find him in the middle of writing a list. It`s his Can-do and Can`t-do List. The Can`t-do side just says `Swimming`. One small word. But not being able to swim is a big deal for Scramble. It means he`s teased by some of the riverbank animals. It means he feels left out when everyone else is in the water. And it means he spends hours and hours sitting on his own on the slippery rock wishing and wishing and wishing that he could. But something is going round in Scramble`s head. Something his mummy has said. Something his older sister has said. `You`ve got to start smallEL` And so, slowly, slowly, Scramble builds his confidence in the water - overcoming each new incremental goal that he sets himself. Until, finally, Scramble really can swim! At the heart of this gentle story about learning a new skill is the message of encouragement - something that is important for toddlers everywhere.
