Review
If you need to know anything about otters then this is the book for you: it covers everything from how they swim to how they hunt and what they eat to their mating games and how they care for their young.
Animal Lives: The Otter is written in a very plain and straightforward style which makes for easy understanding and interesting reading. You are not only given plenty of information about otters but there is also a section at the back of the book that tells you where you can seek out this fascinating species and how to watch them without disturbing them. The glossary of specialist words used in the main text of the book and the list of useful contacts if you wish to find out more information about Otters add further weight to the book.
In addition to a tremendously informative text, the illustrations are wonderfully detailed and really help to lift the book from a factual and perhaps rather mundane non-fiction title to a visually intriguing book.
Animal Lives: The Otter is a great book that will not only appeal to any budding wildlife expert, but could also be enjoyed as a storybook by anyone with a love of animals. (Ages 4 to 6) --Miranda Warren
