Ollie's First Year

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Van Zyle. North American river otter pup Ollie is born in spring; during their first year he and his littermates play and learn to swim and hunt. In winter, Ollie slides down a snowbank into a rushing river and gets swept away, but all ends happily. Painterly illustrations portray the otters and their habitat through the seasons. An author's note provides information about otters.
