A Cat's Tale: Sink or Swim

By The Cat Calypso and Debra Palmen

When you're afraid of the water learning to swim is a Big Adventure.

But don't worry, Calypso the Cat is here to help.

Just make sure you don't get your head fur wet!

This is Calypso's story about how she helped Tallulah overcome her fear of the water and learn to swim.

Tallulah learned breast-stroke, back-stroke and side-stroke.

She learned how to hold her breath underwater.

But she also learned how to doggy-paddle.

How shocking!

Why would you want to learn to doggy-paddle?

The kitty-paddle is much better.

Calypso is a sweet, bossy, clever little cat who lives with Tallulah in 1920s Art Deco Paris.

She knows all the Important Cat Rules off by heart and has an answer for everything.

Tallulah travels around the world having adventures and Calypso goes too, to keep an eye on her. She helps Tallulah to be brave and fierce and independent.

Calypso's stories are about facing your fears, overcoming obstacles and not being afraid to do things your way. Young or old, anyone who knows and loves cats will recognise their own furry friend in Calypso's attitudes and behaviour.
