Product Description
This lively book tells young readers everything they want to know about the life and behavior of the southern sea otter, its northern cousin, and lesser-known river otters. Forty color photographs by 13 exceptional wildlife photographers show the otter at work and play, while range maps show both current and historic locations of the otters. It's all here for the budding biologist or zoologist, or the just-plain-curious kid: otter methods of courtship and reproduction, eating habits, and the animal's complex relationship with humankind, including how these playful animals continue to be threatened by oil spills and the encroachment of human society. An "Otter Secrets" section presents "amazing but true" characteristics of the otter, while the "To Learn More" page points curious readers to related websites, books, organizations, videos, and DVDs. |

Buy and share this book, you'll be glad you did! by Ava L. Lemert (Citrus Heights, CA USA)  5 Stars
September 23, 2009
I think I'm biased, sea otters are my favorite animal, this has beautiful photography and the text is a nice size even for younger readers, thank goodness because I bought this to share with my son, turning 7 soon. The photos of course really got his attention, but the facts are also fun and easy to grasp. I just love looking at the pictures, who can't get enough of the adorable sea otter's face? Very interesting, too. Recommended, I hope to bring it to my son's 2nd grade class to read and share with the kids. I know they'll love it
