Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Tatham's (Penguin Chick) animal science book here zooms in on a sea otter mother and her offspring to reveal a host of fascinating facts about this ocean-going mammal. "The mother otter blows air bubbles into her pup's brown fur, where they will be trapped between the top layer of long hair and an under layer of very thick fur. This helps keep the pup warm." Each page offers a similarly interesting detail, covering a range of topics from anatomy to hunting and dining. Paley's (Unbeatable Beaks) bold collage artwork, cut from hand-painted and textured papers, illuminates the pages and brings this underwater world to life. Against swathes of bright turquoise and aquamarine ocean backdrops, the brown otters lazily float in kelp beds. Their rounded, scratchboard-textured bodies give them a cuddly appearance. Under the water, however, the animals transform into sleek gray swimmers diving for food or evading predators, their fur dappled with wavy patterns of light in greenish hues. This straightforward tale offers several mini-climactic moments that present the animals' predators (e.g., birds, sharks, even other otters). At one point, a male otter kidnaps the pup, holding her for ransom ("He will not release the pup until the mother gives him the food she has in her pouch"). An endnote offers additional facts about these sea-faring cousins of the weasel. This accessible book comes full circle when the baby otter grows up to have a pup of her own. Ages 5-9. (Oct.)

From The Critics
This phenomenal combination of brilliant color, imaginative paper collage art, and informative text will enthrall future marine biologists or any curious kid. Intensely blue waters form the mysterious habitat of an appealingly plump mother sea otter as she glides gracefully through the water caring for her new pup. In the sweet and simple story, the life and times of a sea otter are revealed. More than just another "mama-loves-her-baby" tale (although it is all of that, too) this book actually teaches some science about otters, which are actually members of the weasel family. Within the context of the story, mama demonstrates all the natural instincts and talents of otters as she seeks and cracks open shells for food, matches up with other otters, builds an otter raft, avoids dangerous predators, and teaches grooming techniques to her daughter. Through the richly painted pages the otters float through their share of easy days and dangerous escapades, while the color and hue of the water subtly shifts to indicate changes in the depth and mood of the story. The tale goes full circle when the pup finds a mate and has a little pup of her own. 2005, Henry Holt and Company, Ages 4 to 7.
