About the Author:
From Booklist:
Barbara Juster Esbensen (1925–1996) was a popular children’s author, storyteller, and nature writer.
Mary Barrett Brown (1938–2000) was a world-renowned wildlife artist.
Ages 6-8. The saying "Playful as an otter" takes on meaning in this informative and attractively illustrated volume about North American river otters. Following the travels of two otters in the wild, the author describes how their frolicsome instinct separates them from their contentious relatives--skunks, weasels, fishers, badgers, martens, wolverines, and minks. But like the others, otters possess a scent gland that produces an odor that acts as a communication link to other otters. Their long, muscular bodies, short legs, and sensitive whiskers help them maneuver skillfully on top of and under snow and water and on dry land. The book describes the life of the otter as the seasons change--its home, feeding habits and reproductive cycle. The picture-book format works well. The large pages share a balance between text and color illustrations that capture the essence of these animals as they slip and slide in mud and snow and swim in circles just for the fun of it. Like Esbensen's Sponges, below, this is a good choice for animal studies in the primary grades. Deborah Abbott
