Short description/annotation:
From the award-winning creator of No Climbing comes another story of our unwise but determined rabbit! But this time, he is set on going for a swim, no matter what might be lurking in the water . . .
Description:

Sometimes a rabbit just wants to go for a swim! But is that the best idea when the sign says "No Swimming"?

Packed with Ross Collins''s characteristic humour, No Swimming is a hilarious cautionary tale - a perfect read-aloud picture book for children and adults to enjoy together, again and again!

When a rabbit meets a sneaky sea monkey trying to get him into the water, he has questions; lots of them! What are carrots doing in a lake? Why are there no fish? Is the water cold? And, most importantly, is the sea monkey really a sea monkey? He certainly is a strange-looking fellow . . .

Enjoy more adventures from this unwise but determined rabbit in No Climbing.
