Otter’s best friend is a rock. Otter takes Rock everywhere. Manatee comes along and sees Otter with rock, She wants to join in! Manatee borrows Rock but drops Rock! Otter is mad. Rock shows up again and manatee and otter have to learn how to be friends again!

Buchet’s book is so cute. In the end it has a bit about otters and manatees, A bunch of information. Zuill’s illustrations are so cute.
