“This fully realized picture book captures warmth, imagination, and playfulness in the character of Otter.” - School Library Journal

“Garton’s debut picture book does a bang-up job of introducing Otter. There’s a lovely dimensionality and sense of physical comedy in Garton’s digitally created artwork. Combined with Otter’s winning brand of self-importance, it’s plenty to propel her into future adventures.” - Publishers Weekly

“A wonderful storytime offering to soothe back-to-school blues; Otter devotees and newcomers will savor this one.” - School Library Journal
