His older brothers and sisters are splashing, racing and playing confidently in the water, but Sam is a little bit frightened and overwhelmed. In the end, he learns that it's best to start little by little, swimming in the shallow end towards his mother's open arms. Lift the flaps to see where he is hiding and how he finally conquers his fear.

With flaps to lift on every spread, SAM GOES SWIMMING is one in a series of four delightful, character-led board books for toddlers that deal with first experiences in a fun and reassuring way.
