Otta is a North American river otter. His mother named him Otta because he "ought to" do what she instructs. On this day, he is separated from the romp (a group of North American river otters). He has to remember all his mother has taught him so he can survive. Otta the Otter: A Day Without Mom is a heartwarming story of a river otter gaining independence.
Otta has a dragonfly that follows him. See if you can find the dragonfly on each page!
