Publisher Description
Otter—the irrepressible picture book character from I Am Otter, Otter in Space, and Otter Loves Halloween!, sure to be adored by fans of Olivia—goes to school for the first time!
In Otter Goes to School, Otter starts her own school for Teddy, Giraffe, and the rest of her friends. They have a great teacher and do lots of fun things together . . . until Teddy says he doesn’t like school anymore. Luckily, Otter Keeper comes to the rescue and teaches everyone the best lesson of all!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After learning that her adult Otter Keeper did all his best learning at school, Otter knows exactly what to do: start a school of her own. She'll be the teacher, naturally, which requires a costume change, complete with a "special teacher dress," a "beautiful teacher purse," and a "friendly teacher face." In math class, Otter writes down all the numbers she knows ("No one could work out what to do after that. So everyone just took turns holding the calculator"), and students Giraffe and Pig earn gold stars for excellence. Finding Teddy's talents takes a bit more work, but by book's end all of the characters are assured of their scholastic (and teaching) abilities. As in Otter's previous books, Garton's wry sense of humor and richly detailed artwork generate a steady steam of laughs. Ages 4 8.
