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.
Ross Collins' primary 1 teacher, Mrs Spears, told his parents that he should go to art school. 13 years went by until he was finally 'old enough' to get into the Glasgow School of Art. Can you believe that? – 13 years. On graduating he won the Macmillan Prize for his first picture book. Since then he's illustrated over 100 books for children and written a few of them too. Several of them have won enormous glittering awards which he keeps in a box in Latvia. Ross' book The Elephantom was recently adapted into a critically acclaimed play by those clever people at the National Theatre who made that 'War Horse' thing. When he's not creating children's books he enjoys working on character development for animation studios like Laika and Disney. He also likes walking in the Scottish glens with his dog Hugo, who is an idiot and his partner Jacqui, who is not.
