Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.I love Otter! We love Otter! Otter is absolutely adorable, truly I do not exaggerate. Otter! was a big hit, Otter in Space! was perfect for us this year, and now Otter Loves Halloween! is a great addition. While the first two books are taller 9x11" jacket hardcovers, this seasonal special is a 9x9" hardcover and will go great on the holiday shelf next to the Marley, Splat the Cat, and Pete the Cat books.

Otter is a brave sole, just as are most children in the 4-8 age range and he is excited for Halloween. He is very into the idea of costumes being super scary, but he gets in a little over his head as he soon finds everything else to be scary too. In the end, he's fearless "of course" and he just wants to protect his friend Pig. This little seasoned story is a great fit for those who are exuberant, but might find themselves a little concerned when it comes to the big fright night.

Parental note: There is nothing too scary in these pages and I wouldn't hesitate to let all of my children flip through it.

Otter and Teddy have been waiting for Halloween all year; it's one of the most important holidays! But when things get a little too scary, Otter Keeper has to help Otter come up with a plan to keep trick-or-treating fun.

Otter and Teddy are back with more charming, laugh-out-loud adventures. It's Halloween and everyone knows that means scary--and Otter is here to make sure all the stuffed animals have the scariest costumes possible. Her master Halloween plans just go a little off the rails when things get more frightening than she had anticipated. The story takes readers through all the fun and creativity of Halloween while offering a reassuring message about facing your fears. All Otter's friends are back to help her celebrate, including Otter Keeper, Teddy, Giraffe, and Pig. Readers will love seeing Otter prepare for one of her favorite holidays with her characteristic passion and intensity and will cheer for her when she needs to find a way to face some Halloween frights.

An amusing, endearing story about using your imagination to have the best Halloween ever.
