K-3I Can Read Book series.
In Bath, mud-splattered Otter and her stuffie, Teddy, try to avoid the inevitable. In Job, Otter decides that she and Teddy need jobs, just like Otter Keeper (the human with whom they live). The popular picture-book otter weathers the transition to "first reader" books nicely: both stories are amusing in word and image (note, for instance, Otter and Teddy's bath-forestalling disguises). Review covers the following I Can Read Book titles: Otter: Oh No, Bath Time! and Otter: The Best Job Ever!.
