The Otter Who Wanted to Know

My daughter and I read Plop, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark together as her first chapter book. She really liked it so I looked for others that were similar. I did not know Jill Tomlinson had other animal ones and had not read this before but was pleasantly surprised. Pat the Otter has the same things we liked about Plop - animals, details (like how she keeps her pebble under her armpit and uses it to open shellfish) and a story that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. The book arrived on friday and we had finished it by sunday even though we were only supposed to be reading one chapter at bedtime and one at naptime, we couldn't wait to find out whet would happen! The language is not dumbed down either, there are a few tricky words but its good to help expand vocabulary. We plan to buy more of the others listed at the back of the book - Otto the Penguin, Hilda the Hen and so on.

Inglés sencillo y fácil de comprender. Narración dinámica. Además de aprender inglés, los niños aprenden los hábitos de las nutrias.

6 year old loved reading this to me. Lovely illustrations and good size of text.

My daughter loved this book. I'm planning on getting more of the Jill Tomlinson books!

We read this book in primary school and since I had my children I’ve been desperate to get it for them but couldn’t remember what it was called. I was Googling anything and everything I could think of in the story when I suddenly remembered the name Bobby and I found it. Absolutely beautiful story which is read regularly in our house now.
