Otter

by Sandy Ransford

Down among the weeds and pebbles of the river bed, the otter is swimming home. Fast as a fish, nimble as an eel, she moves with joy through the water. Like the otter itself, the text of this informative story moves with poetic grace, offering children a privileged look at the life of this appealing and elusive riverbank animal. Discover how long it can stay under water before coming up for air, how its webbed feet and long sleek body make it such a rapid swimmer, and how it keeps its young safe from predators! Richly detailed artwork and an absorbing text make this an excellent gift or a treasured addition to any child's wildlife library.

A book giving a brief glimpse into the life of a North American river otter mother and her pups. This is a non-fiction book and has some facts about the otters. A lot of information about river otters is still unknown, but this book focuses on what is known.

BRA faktabok om uttrar. Tar också upp vilka andra sorters uttrar de finns.
Tar upp det mesta man vill veta om uttrar.
Tecknade bilder dock, foton hade varit bättre.

This was an extremely informative book if you want to learn about otters. And the beautifully detailed pictures will lend an added zest to your reading enjoyment as you learn all about how otters spend there days and nights and how they care for their young.
