Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story by Jean Reidy

May 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story is based loosely on an actual situation of an otter (Luna of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago) being rescued. After I finished reading, I was not sure I liked this cute, poetic story of a baby otter and the adventure it takes to find their home. I feel that is probably since it was too cute for me in places, and maybe also even too short. But this book can be fun for the right audience. There are […]

Therefore, Susannah Buhrman-Deever created a fun story filled with facts (with extra information on the sides and at the end) to allow your child to grow with the book. […]

Randal the Elephant is a curious Otter. What? Okay, let me back track. Randal is an otter. An otter that thinks elephants are majestic and amazing and his dream is to become on. Some of his friends encourage his dream. Others think otters are better. Yet, Randal goes off to become an elephant. And even though his letters home seems to say he is having a great time, the pictures show the reader that this might be less than the truth. This is a modern […]
