Welcome to our 'Worlds of Treebs'.
This ebook is the first in a series of Treeb books by children's author and illustrator Roy Bentley.
Treebs are delightful woodland characters that have exciting and surprising adventures; all with happy endings!
In this story we meet Sally Willow, a young Treeb, who lives under a huge willow tree beside a slow lazy river.
She tries to swim in a small pool at the edge of her river. One day she decides she would like to learn to swim properly.
She pushes off into the wide river seeking help from a mother duck teaching her chicks to swim on the other bank.
On the way she meets a surprising creature. Soon they make friends, and Sally persuades it to teach her to swim; just like a crocodile!
There is already a sequel to this story, 'Sally Willow Zoo Break In', where Sally and another new friend smuggle the sad crocodile back into his warm zoo home.
