My Review

Ever since seeing the Disney movie Finding Dory I’ve been obsessed with Sea Otters. They’re so cute! I was excited to see “The Secret Life of the Sea Otter” by Laurence Pringle on NetGalley.  I read it on my iPad but I think it would be better in print. The illustrations were nice in the digital form but I think will be gorgeous in the print version.  One slight concern I have related to this though is the readability of the text. The story explores the daily life of Lutris and her baby. I felt like there some good educational content in there but the “storyline” felt a little choppy to me. At the end of the book there was more information about Sea Otters as well as a glossary of terms. I liked the glossary. I don’t think that the “additional information” added much to the book though to be honest. I’m not sure exactly what the suggested age range is for the book but the extra info was too advanced. I would rather the author have included more kid friendly resources. All in all, I think the illustrations included in the book will be gorgeous but I’m not sure about the text content. I’m a little disappointed.
