Illustrated by
Layn Marlow.
Otto the otter can do lots of things, including "slippery-rock hopping" and "being kind to frogs," but he just can't swim. His sister finally helps him with the advice to "start small." Marlow's animals are endearing; a springtime palette of blues and greens with plenty of white space displays a close-knit riverbank community.
