This kindle book is beautifully illustrated. Who can fail to love the sea otter with its adorable face and clever adaptations? Chan has laid out a tale of mother and child love with a decent amount of information on the life of the sea otter. He provides a short glossary to help children understand the more technical terms. There are a few spelling and editing errors, but most of the text is readable for elementary age children. This naughty little sea otter gets into some trouble and some unsettling events near the end of the story might upset a younger child hearing the story. At its conclusion, the cycle of nature is played out and the sea pup will need to learn how to assume her role as mother as the chain of life continues.
