Product Description
Book Description
Set among a family of otters, a wonderful story about setting goals and taking small, brave steps to achieve them
Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
A lovely story - well written and teaches children to keep trying - very appropriate for the ages of my 5 grandchildren. The writer must have children to be able to relate to them so well.

Easy, whimsical picturebook story
7 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
Otto can do many things, from playing to being kind to frogs - but he cannot swim; and for an otter, this is a big problem requiring a little help - from a sister. This easy, whimsical picturebook story will appeal to any child tackling swimming skills, and is also a positive story of how a 'can do' and troubleshooting attitude can help, as well as thoughtful siblings and friends. Parents and libraries will find it appealing to young readers.

Very sensible and delightful at the same time. If you like the Magic Castle Readers by Jane Belk Moncure you'll like Little by Little. Destined to be a classic and award winner.

This is an amazing book to teach small children to take one step at a time when learning new concepts. Little by little if they keep trying they will learn new and wonderful things. And, they will finish BIG!
