I enjoyed it very much considering where we go camping there are many otters in the river, and when they have their babies, they are very protective. I read the book to understand the North American species better, as the attack we witnessed camping was terrible. This book has great information from eating habits, to worldly locations and otters' habitats to, and the wide variety of otters out there. Nice job!" — Verified Review, USA "This little book is an excellent introduction to the lives of otters. The photos are absolutely adorable and are also set in nature (not zoo pics or AI generated). I really enjoyed learning about these animals. Some of the formatting in the text is a bit wonky, but it is still a great read for older children and adults. This would be good as a sit-down read adult and child. The vocabulary is a bit high for young kids, but the pictures and a discussion with an adult would be a fun activity. Older children (maybe 10 and up) would be able to read and enjoy it on their own." — Verified Review, USA "We are a family of campers, so this was a great book to read as a family to honor and respect these particular species of nature. I loved the illustrations and informative content. This is a wonderful stocking stuffer!" — Verified Review, USA Hello reader! I am Jenny Kellett, the author of Otters: The Ultimate Otter Book for Kids. I consider myself not just a writer, but an advocate, a conservationist, and yes, an Otter Hero. I write books that I would have loved to have as a child. While other kids had their noses in Harry Potter, I was trawling through nonfiction books and magazines such as the Guinness Book of Records and National Geographic. However, there wasn't much written specifically at my level. Over the last decade, I have fine-tuned my books to provide curious children with content that's at their level, without making it childish. Throughout this journey, I've aimed to make the book engaging for readers of all ages. The combination of adorable photos, intriguing facts, and interactive activities makes the world of otters come alive in a way that's educational and fun. From the anecdotes about their playful antics to the sobering realities about their threatened habitats, I've strived to create a comprehensive guide that inspires curiosity and fosters a sense of responsibility. I hope by the end of this book, you too will be an Otter Hero armed not only with fun facts and knowledge, but a desire to care for them and other wildlife.
