A "Living Book" about Otters

This book follows a mother otter through the process of raising a family. Unlike most "fact books," this book is NOT dry. It is written in story form, with beautiful illustrations. It's worth reading over & over again, and in the process, you & your child will learn about these beautiful & graceful creatures!
