Meet Lutris, a female sea otter.

Pringle writes a story-like text, accompanied by Garchinsky's dreamy illustrations that evoke a watery feeling. A simple read that children will enjoy, with detailed backwater to add the informational details kids will also enjoy. It would have been great if much of the back matter had been included on the relevant pages, instead of being a big clump in the back.
