Otter in Space

Fans of picture book characters like Llama Llama will love the curious, charming, and playful Otter, who made her debut in I Am Otter. In her second book, Otter in Space, she and her best friend, Teddy, set off on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure—to the moon!

Otter's utterly winning voice and Sam Garton's classic yet fresh artwork combine to create a truly hilarious and unforgettable friendship story, with a classroom hook. Otter in Space is all about creativity, problem solving, and the power of imagination.

Hi! I am Otter.

This is a story of the time my best friend Teddy and I did something really incredible. We went on a very, very important mission—to the moon! In a rocket!

I can't wait for you to read about what happened. (Shhhh! Don't give it away, Teddy!)

“A bright and hilarious escapade about an otter who, bored while her owner’s at work, opens a toast restaurant. Hysterical.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review), about I Am Otter

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

“Good-natured fun.” - Booklist, about I Am Otter

“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, about I Am Otter

“From “mishun control” to launch and liftoff, Garton’s bright, shiny digital illustrations are full of sparkle and humor. Lively, giggle-producing proof that imaginative play is just as good as getting to the moon.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Bound to please established fans and to cultivate some new ones.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
