Ollie the Otter is the best book I've ever read- Brianna Rose Salkow

Dear Grandpa, Ollie the Otter is about an otter who lived in the ocean before he got captured by a fisherman named Red Beard. Red Beard gave the otter to Kris,she works at an aquarium with otters,a sea turtle, and one bird named Bingo. The otters names are Sadie, Ollie, Fuzzy, and Browner and they also have one walrus named Fnadago. One day the animals set off to the deep dark sea along the way they met a swordfish, two jellyfish, and one great white shark named Tooth. Will the animals survive against the shark, the jellyfish and the swordfish? I don't know you'll have to find out for yourself.I certainly think that Ollie the Otter is the best book I've ever read. Love, Brianna Brianna is my Granddaughter age 9

Great story that teaches kids and adults about enjoying life

I read this book on advice from a friend. Then I read it to my 7 year old son. He loved the book and Ollie. We talked about Ollie and his love of life and what that meant for my son and I personally. It was a great couple of hours. Thank you Mr. Williamson.Gordon Wolf PhD

Ollie the Otter is fun!

My 6 year-old son really enjoyed this book and now says it is his favorite! I enjoyed reading it to him. Ollie is a teenage otter with attitude. He doesn't always listen and this gets him into an adventure with his other animal friends. The book may be for ages 8 and up, the it reaches a broader age range.

Ollie the Otter

Ollie is a wonderfully uplifting and positive character that I found to be great for kids. His adventures are truly original and the friends he makes along the way are very memorable. This book is exciting, funny, informative and fast moving. Dive in and hang on for a good long swim.

Warm blooded applause for Ollie the Otter

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! My primary goal in reading Ollie the Otter was to review and approve its content for my young son. I soon found myself in tears of laughter in several very colorful scenes. The animals in the story have rambunctious and vivid personalities which stand in stark contrast to the animal stories that I read as a child 30 years ago. I had a series of pink books (don't recall the author) that contained individual adventures (volumes) of a bear, squirrel, muskrat, and field mouse, but none compare to Ollie! I have taken the liberty of sending copies to my friends for their children to enjoy.
