Illustrated by
Chris Raschka.
An unlikely pair--predator and prey, otter and fish--fall in love, and Otter must decide whether to follow "the way of the otter" and eat fish, or find an alternative and stay with Myrtle. The folkloric tone of Howe's narrative with Raschka's simple watercolor and pencil illustrations provide a timeless feel to the quirky undersea tale.
