About the Book
“An utterly, otterly delightful read! The illustrations are bright and cheery, and the story is reassuring to little otter children who like to play in an utterly, otterly carefree way.”
- Vicki Erwin, Main Street Books, St Charles MO
Little Otter likes to play in a carefree, unabashed, utterly otterly way.
Mom warns Little Otter, “Be careful!”
Dad says, “Stay close!”
But does Little Otter listen? Oh, no! No. No. No. Little Otter thinks he’s a big otter now, big enough to take care of himself. But watch out, Little Otter, because no matter how big you get, it’s good to have loved ones looking out for you.
MARY CASANOVA is an award-winning children’s author of novels and picture books. Many of her books stem from her life on the Minnesota-Canadian border; yet some of her stories have taken her as far away as France, Norway, and Belize for research. Whatever the setting for her books, Casanova writes stories that matter–and stories that kids can’t put down.
Her book awards include: American Library Association “Notable,” Aesop Accolades by the American Folklore Society, Parents’ Choice “Gold” Award, Booklist Editor Choice, and two Minnesota Book Awards. Her books frequently land on state children’s choice book master lists across the country. “The greatest reward for me,” Casanova states, “is when a young reader tells me she or he loves one of my books. For me, it’s all about communicating writer-to-reader through a character and story.”
Now, with 19 books published and many more under contract and forthcoming, she divides her time between writing and traveling. Nationally and internationally, at schools and conferences, Casanova shares her love of writing and reading with children and adults. Visit her website at www.marycasanova.com
