This was an easy book to read. I think it was fun. It was educational and it was also a little longer than most children’s books to read before bed. I would highly recommend and I think this was fun. Although we are installed a little strange, especially for a children’s book it wasn’t as colourful or us vibrant, but I think it’s a good book overall.

Otto Learns to Swim is a wonderful children's book that captures the essence of overcoming challenges. As someone who adores stories that inspire resilience and courage, I thoroughly enjoyed following Otto's journey from a hesitant otter to a confident swimmer. The delightful illustrations and relatable characters make this book a joy to read for children of all ages, but its message resonates with the kid in all of us. Through Otto's adventure, young readers learn the importance of perseverance and staying true to oneself, making it a perfect addition to any child's bookshelf.

OTTO LEARNS TO SWIM by Oscar Burnaby is a children’s story of imagination and perseverance.

Otto the Otter is four months old, and Otto wants nothing more than to be a pirate. His mother is busy preparing for the day’s celebrations but Otto is determined to be a pirate one way or another. Sneaking out of the house didn’t work but Otto’s mother offers to teach her child how to swim, a lesson that proves to Otto that being an otter is the best of all.

With colorful images, easy text, and some bullying from the local rabbit riff-raff, OTTO LEARNS TO SWIM is a sweet story of self, personal achievement and imagination.

This is a cute story. Who doesn't love otters? This one is using his imagination while he's learning how to do the things otters do. Otto is a fun little protagonist.
The book is a little long for its purposes, but it would be good for young readers to share with parents and caregivers.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This is a cute story and it incorporates some important messages too. Otto the young otter is trying out different ideas and identities (e.g. pirate), but he is almost certain he does not want to be in the water.

The story is charming, as our his interactions with his mother and the dialogue between the rabbits. I did however feel that much of the art did not do the story justice. Barring that one gripe, this is a nice story for kids!

It's a nice story of Otter learning to be himself. The story is bit long and it could have a bit of emotional moments with the Mum to make readers invest more on the mother and son relationship.

This was another banger in the series, Otto, who is mostly an otter, but sometime a pirate, has a great time getting over his fear of water and learning to sign. The book covers the nervousness but takes it a step further and manages to capture the absolute glee that Otto feels being in water, be that rushing over rapids and sliding about or just exploring the underwater depths and plant life. The excitement and adventure is well described, and the pleasure Otto takes in being special and being an Otter is lovely. The images are well adapted and match the words, and bob about the page occasionally to mimic the water. A hit of a book with my little person.
