Awesome Otters By:Brittany

Brittany Pfeifer 3/6/06 ELA The book Sea Otters is written by Bobbie Kalman. This book is at a fourth grade reading level. Through this book I learned a great deal about sea otters. In my point of view the setting is in the water outside. The book Sea Otters is an excellent book. This book is an excellent book especially if you are learning about them. I would rate this book 4 Stars out of 5 stars. My opinion is that this book is awesome. Why? Because it tells you all about them. It also tells you how they live. Sea Otters compared to Bound for Oregon is better. This book was so good I would want the author to include more facts about sea otters. Why? Because it takes seconds to read and you could get 100 % all the time. It also needs to be more challenging in the words and the vocabulary. This book Sea Otters is a good book. I hope you have time to stop and read this book Please read this book. Even if you are not a fan of non-fiction you might like this book.

Very Informative

This book gives some good information about sea otters; how they might have evolved, where they live, what they eat, how various parts of their bodies function, how the "pups" are raised, the effects of oil spills and fishing nets on otter populations, human efforts to help them survive, and more. There are also quite a few adorable color photos, and a few color drawings. Recommended.
