Illustrated by
Ard Hoyt.
Little Otter, asserting independence, spends the day away from his family; after all, "he's a big otter now." But when they help him escape from a hungry cougar, he realizes he still needs them, "no matter how big he grows." Casanova plays with language in her enjoyable rhythmic tale. The action-filled pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations suit Little Otter's boisterous behavior.
