Translated by Charise Myngheer.
Nancy, a little gosling, does not want to learn to swim and is constantly distracted from her lessons by her interest in elusive butterflies. Finally she invents a form of lily-pad surfing that allows her a close-up view. The predictable story is sweet, and the watercolor and pencil illustrations are lush and engaging.
