The Story about the Lion Who Couldn't Swim

The Story about the Lion Who Couldn't Swim

Fast-paced, splendidly illustrated and full of humour: Martin Baltscheit's new tale of the lion is a must for all those who love water – and for those who can't swim!

Help, the spring tide! The lioness lies on the island and pleads for someone to rescue her. Unfortunately, the lion can't swim. The other animals have all sorts of advice for the lion – after all, the duck, the frog and the trout have no trouble swimming! The flea thinks he should leap forward, the bird says to fly. It's when the cricket calls him a coward that the lion has to take action. He charges into the water and sinks like a stone... In the end, the lion accomplishes his task and swims to the island and back with the lioness.
