Leaping lemmings! - John Briggs, illustrated by Nicola Slater

Think before you leap! Lemmings look alike, they sound alike, and they act alike. So if one jumps off a cliff, the others will jump right after him . . . Except Larry. Larry's very independent-minded and he won't follow his fellow lemmings blindly to their doom. But can he teach them to use their brains and stop making terrible group decisions? Joe Briggs has created a wonderfully funny, quirky tale about doing your own thing, while Nicola Slater's illustrations capture all the humour and pathos in Larry's situation.
