Children will want to settle down for bedtime with Little Sea Otter as he snuggles onto Mama's chest in a cozy bed of sea kelp and bids good night to all his ocean friends. From sea lions to sea snails, seagulls to seals and sea urchins, it seems he'll never close his eyes.

Little Sea Otter is ready to go to bed, snug in his Mamma's lap, head against her chest, floating on the ocean's surface. Still, he fights his drooping eyes and mother's urgings, by saying good night to every animal he can see or hear, in and out of the ocean's calm blue waters."I forgot to say good night to the harbor seals," Little Sea Otter said to his momma. "Good night harbor seals." Little Sea Otter then said good night to the sea lions, sea gulls, and the orange, yellow, and purple fish. Then he spots the sea urchins, sea stars, sea slugs, clams, and crabs, bidding them all good night. Little Sea Otter continued his good nights until he believed he was finished, but he had missed saying good night to one creature of the sea. Can you guess whom?This is an adorable bedtime book. Children will love the cute Little Sea Otter and all his friends. I can hear children reciting the lines, having memorized them from night after night readings. Moms and Dads might even get a rendition of Rock-a-Bye Baby as the back cover folds closed. Wish William's illustrations use deep, rich colors and are wonderfully detailed. If enlarged, the side-by-side pictures without text would make awesome posters. Good Night, Little Sea Otter is a must-have bedtime story that will endear children for years.Note: received from netgalley, courtesy of the publisher
Bought this along with the Aurora otter toy for my 3 year old daughter at Christmas. Its a very sweet bedtime story and has beautiful illustrations. Not too long or short, but it is another baby animal saying good night to the other animals story so don't expect much from it.
This sweet bedtime story is our new favorite. The story is well-written and wonderful and the illustrations are absolutely magical. I originally bought it as a gift but had to keep it right then and there so I ordered more to give away :) I highly recommend this book, especially if you and your little ones love the beach. Enjoy!
This is a lovely book. The story is sweet. The illustrations are beautiful. My 20 month old is very picky about which books he wants to be read but he never turns this one down. He points to the pictures and we discuss the different creatures. He laughs at his favorite part every time. This is his fun book before he settles down with his last book of the night.
If you were a baby sea otter, to whom would you want to say good night before going to sleep? It is time for Little Sea Otter to go to bed, but he tries to postpone it as long as possible by saying good night to everybody imaginable--the harbor seals, the sea lions, the seagull, the fish in the water, and all the creatures under the sea. Did he forget anyone? Are there others to whom he might say good night? And will he ever get to sleep? Children love to see otters. They are among the most playful and fascinating animals to watch. And children love bedtime stories. What a perfect combination! The gentle, soothing text by author Janet Halfmann, who was inspired while writing a magazine article set in a kelp forest along California's coast, and the gorgeous seascape illustrations by Wish Williams will help wee ones to join Little Sea Otter as they settle down for night time and snuggle into their cozy beds. This is a charming tale that is good for bedtime or anytime, and it gets high praise from me.
One of the best bedtime stories to create sweet dreams filled with wonder and enchantment about the water world around us. 'Good Night, Little Sea Otter' does bedtime perfectly for little ones. In fact, I liked it for myself to fill my head with pleasant thoughts for dream time.With Janet Halfmann, you cannot go wrong in sparking a child's interest in the animal world. Her stories are factual with a fictional twist in capturing the animals thoughts.Wish Williams' illustrations are calm yet vibrant and perfect for the dream world.Star Bright Books is the publisher.
Very adorable story. Little otter reminds me of my son who procrastinates before bedtime too. The illustrations are nice. Wish there was more to the story though, but is great bed time book otherwise.
Little Sea Otter pulls the same tricks as your kids do to avoid going to bed. Well, except maybe asking for a drink of water. The artwork in the book is wonderful and you can play games such as: Where are the Sea Lions? Other sea creatures you'll find are star fish, sea urchins, clams, crabs, fish, snails and seagulls. You can point out the colors of the animals and you're kids will soon be "reading" along with you.Good Night Little Sea Otter was published by Star Bright Books and is a good fit for preschools and daycares and easily opens conversation about the following subjects: language arts, life science, family relationships, direction, measurement, colors, textures, shapes and more.
