Otters Love to Play

Jonathan London's 'Otters Love to Play' invites young readers into the delightful world of a river otter family. From their first emergence in spring, the book follows the baby otters as they learn to play, hunt, and navigate their natural habitat through all four seasons. London's engaging text, paired with Meilo So's fluid watercolor illustrations, creates a gentle and informative read-aloud that highlights animal behavior, the cycle of nature, and the simple joys of family and play. It's perfect for introducing children to wildlife and the concept of seasons.

It s spring, and a litter of baby river otters emerges from a den . . . to play! Follow the otters through the seasons as they chase one another, slide down a mudbank, jump in a pile of leaves, and learn to swim. Even while catching fish for their dinner or grooming themselves in the snow, otters love to play and Jonathan London s lively text and Meilo So s fluid watercolors invite you to share in the joy.
