Odder is an otter that loves to play. She is adventurous and curious and loves doing whatever her heart desires. But when her penchant for play puts her life in danger, her life takes an interesting turn and she is going to have to reevaluate her identity and who she trusts.
This book is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers, and it is adorable.
I loved how charming and full of life all the otter characters are and how this book helps readers examine the effects we can have on our environment and all who live in it. Told in a lyrical style that is beautifully captured by a chorus of voices on audio, this book was a quick read and fun listening delight.
