Customer Reviews

A delightful adventure for momma and baby.

This gorgeous book is highly recommended. The illustrations are breath-taking and the tale is sweet and tender. Joshie Otter ventures off by himself looking to play but finding no one among the various animals of the Aleutian Islands who is interested. Suddenly he realizes that he has swum too far from home and doesn't know how to get back. Over the waves he hears his mother's voice singing to him and, guided by her song, he finds his way home. The words and music for the song are included at the end of the book. This is a sweet bedtime book for any baby and would be an especially wonderful gift for a little boy named Josh.

Beautiful story

This is a beautifully written story, complete with it's own song and music, about a little otter who strays from his mother, and how she calls him home with song. A soothing, delightful bedtime story.
