‘You have got to start small,’ his sister said. ‘Small?’ said Scramble. ‘Yes, Small,’ she said. ‘Come on, today really is the day to start small. Believe it little brother, starting small turns can’t-do into can-do.’
Scramble is a little otter. He can do lots of things but he can't swim. In this positive story, discover how Scramble's family and friends help him to enjoy the water. Part of a charming series of picture books that explore important toddler milestones.

My First Milestones: I Can Swim
Parents’ Choice 2008 Approved Award Winner - USA
‘Liquid, lithe and lyrical both in text and illustration,
the book shares the idea that however enormous the task,
starting small can lead to big achievements.’ - Carousel 41, March 2009
‘Sometimes you pick up a book and you just know that you’re going to love it –
and this is one of those books. The illustrations… are a delight with muted colours
capturing the spring countryside and the animals to perfection. They’re… gentle
and unthreatening because the secret of this story is that all Scramble lacks
is confidence.’ - The Bookbag
