"Garton's debut picture book does a bang-up job of introducing Otter. There's a lovely dimensionality and sense of physical comedy in Garton's digitally created artwork. Combined with Otter's winning brand of self-importance, it's plenty to propel her into future adventures." - Publishers Weekly

"The first Otter book in early reader format, this installment is a resoundingly successful transition. The short, concise sentences are ideal for novice readers, and genuine humor results from pairing the images with the simple text.
