Description

Freddy really wants to swim, and the fact that sheep aren’t supposed to swim doesn’t seem to deter him. While the other sheep try to discourage him, Freddy dreams day and night of splashing around the pond with the ducks and fish. How will Freddy find a way to make his dreams come true? This is a hilarious and heartwarming story about persisting in the face of disappointment.
