Cindy Centipede by Damon Burnard
Poor Old Cindy - she has so many arms and legs that they keep getting in her way. When Cindy tries to join in with the weekly swim in the kitchen sink, she ends up splashing everyone else,and some very unkind bugs call her 'Clumsy!'. Mortified, Cindy creeps away to be by herself, but finds herself next to the family cat! In front of the cat is a saucer of milk - and before she knows it, Cindy is over the edge and splashing away all by herself - the more she splashes, the thicker the milk gets, until, finally, the milk turns into butter. And Cindy finds herself skating - in the most unexpectedly elegant way. It isn't long before the word is out: Cindy's not clumsy any more, she's a champion skater, after all!
