About the Book
Despite dreaming of fun and adventure, Little Otter likes nothing better than snoozing in the sun.
When the rock she falls asleep on turns out to be the head of a Highland cow, a real-life adventure begins as she is carried further and further away, across the heather and the river and into the loch and the deep blue sea. But just as she finds herself as far from home as she can be, her animal friends rally round and help her return to her family.
This delightful picture flat, full of amazing naturalistic detail of animals and their habitats, from Highland cows, eagles and seals to basking sharks and minke whales, is a moving tale which shows that sometimes we don't know just how brave we really are until we have to be.
