(2) PS Piglet Nelly is thrilled with her new polka-dotted swimsuit, but when she and her mother head to the beach, Nelly refuses to go into the water. Gorbachev's pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations show Nelly delightedly continuing to wear her suit, even when they visit Grandma, a champion swimmer. Appealingly, no one ever scolds Nelly for her fear, and she gains confidence by watching her grandmother swim.
