The Otter Who Wanted to Know

Description

A charming story about an adorable sea otter from the author of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. Pat is an adorable little sea otter. She likes turning up her toes and floating in the sea, chasing fish and asking a hundred and one questions. One day Pat's quiet life is turned upside down when she gets caught up in a pretty scary adventure. Suddenly she doesn't have time to ask any questions, and even if she did, no one would know the answers. This time Pat just has to find things out for herself! Filled with gentle humour and comfort, Jill Tomlinson’s animal stories have been enjoyed by children who want to snuggle down with a good read for decades. Perfect for kids aged 5+ who love Julia Donaldson, and Dick King Smith's The Sheep Pig. This edition is beautifully illustrated by Paul Howard. Have you enjoyed all of Jill's animal stories? The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark The Cat Who Wanted to Go Home The Gorilla Who Wanted to Grow Up The Hen Who Wouldn't Give Up The Otter Who Wanted to Know The Penguin Who Wanted to Find Out Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill Tomlinson’s animal stories are much-loved and have been best-selling children’s books for nearly four decades. Review: Another hit from Jill Tomlinson - My daughter and I read Plop, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark together as her first chapter book. She really liked it so I looked for others that were similar. I did not know Jill Tomlinson had other animal ones and had not read this before but was pleasantly surprised. Pat the Otter has the same things we liked about Plop - animals, details (like how she keeps her pebble under her armpit and uses it to open shellfish) and a story that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. The book arrived on friday and we had finished it by sunday even though we were only supposed to be reading one chapter at bedtime and one at naptime, we couldn't wait to find out whet would happen! The language is not dumbed down either, there are a few tricky words but its good to help expand vocabulary. We plan to buy more of the others listed at the back of the book - Otto the Penguin, Hilda the Hen and so on. Review: Estupendo para ayudar a los niños a aprender inglés - Inglés sencillo y fácil de comprender. Narración dinámica. Además de aprender inglés, los niños aprenden los hábitos de las nutrias.
